Louie being weird!BP eating habits are weird!!

[Ax01]

So it's nothing we don't already know- BPs are NOTORIOUS for going off meals and having strange eating habits. Nothing new, nothing I'm worried about. BUT ANYWAYS- to fuss about it here, haha.

So he ate like a champ for the most part I've had him since May 2015. Then in December he ate 2 rats for the month and in January he ate only 1 rat. He is always offered food once a week anyways. So the last week and a half in February he has been prowling like crazy at night, acting like he's on the scope for a rat and even when I wake up at 6am to get ready for work, he's still out and about! So the next night I heat him up a rat for dinner and he doesn't eat it, oddly enough! Since he ate 2 in Dec and only 1 in Jan, I figure he must be up for another one soon but he just strikes, coils, then drops it. But his attitude suggests he wants to eat! So strange, lil fella.

He hasn't lost any weight thank goodness and is still very personable, likes to hang out and is gentle and friendly to human hands. It just surprises me that he gets all worked up for a rat and then won't eat it! I'm gonna try him again tonight. It just makes me feel better to see him take a meal and so I know he's full and happy and eating and growing!!!

I'm sure I'm not the only one who feels this way, haha, just feels good to vent. Thanks for listening guys

Louie is 11 months!

And, heh, well! The thing is, Louie biologically is a girl! Imagine that! When I got Louie from Petco last year, the handlers said that it was a male bp (probably 'cus I went into the store and said I specifically wanted a male so they said that just to sell it to me or they are just clueless which is more likely the case!) And so when I took Louie to my local herpguy, Carl, for a looksee, Carl was able to surprise me that "he" was a she!! Since Louie's name was already picked out and my bf and I had become acclimated to the male pronouns, it just stuck.



This is the frame of him over his house. It's 2016, Louie reps all genderfluid reptiles! Lol

i like the fact that Louie is a girl. she's a pretty princess.
