Laziest Nom

[Aercadia]

DH picked up a feisty little shoestring of a 1.0 Caramel Tiger Jag a couple weeks ago, who I refer to affectionately as "the noodle". This noodle has a habit of striking at us when we walk by his tub - good sign for eating purposes, and he took his first meal from us with gusto. I was amazed that a fuzzy would fit inside his tiny insides, but after it was inside him it looked like a perfectly sized meal.

Due to an unfortunate set of circumstances, we have some frozen pinkies to dispose of, and since the noodle is our smallest snek, DH decided he gets to help with two at a time. He took the first one with gusto - wrapped, swallowed, and came out looking for more. However, when DH dangled the second pink in front of him, he investigated it thoroughly but didn't actually seem interested in doing anything besides nudging and licking it. Just as DH was losing hope and getting ready to give up the game, the noodle opened his mouth wide, and just sort of lean forward until the food was in it. DH let go, and the noodle just sat there for a couple of minutes before working his second portion down into tummytown.

I've heard of BPs doing this, but watching this lazy noodle "eh" at his food was just so funny!! Once these pinks are gone, we'll go back to more appropriately sized food in single doses, since he doesn't appear incredibly enthused about second helpings.

Congrats on the jag pickup. I bet he is going to grow out real nice with those extra feedings. Enjoy!

Congrats on your new Carpet! Pics?

Funny about the second helping.

Congrats on your new carpet. They are so different when compared to ball pythons. I just bought two a few weeks ago, they are a blast to work with.
