Re: Riverrun
I think I'm going to start putting her back onto a 10-14 day schedule, since she's getting bigger meals now. She also seems to get out breath rather easily lately so maybe she's getting a little chubby, and she's also outgrown her tub so she can't get as much exercise. Even if I took her out every day, that wouldn't be as good as her having space to explore in her cage. I really need to get someone to help me put my T12's together....Thought I could do it on my own but I couldn't get the bottom and end piece to line up on my own. :/
She's finished off the weaned rats, so she's getting 2 small rats now, which is probably more food than she'd be getting with one medium rat. She's got enough to last several weeks doubled up so I'm going to wait until then to get the other mouse/rats I need and just buy a few adult mice and mouse pinks from the pet store in the meantime for Demigod and Sanji.
Here's a few crappy nighttime cell phone pics. She doesn't like to sit nicely on my hand, so getting size pics is difficult. Lol
I have about 1/3 of her wrapped around my arm and lifted off the ground out of sight in this pic.
And how her head rub looks now (I'm not even really gripping her just holding her head up).

My mom got a new camera that I'm borrowing, so here are some recent photos of River. I still haven't gotten a recent length on her, but last I weighed her she was over 700 grams, so she could be over 800 grams by now, I need to find a container big enough for her because she no longer fits in any of my Tupperware at all, and will immediately crawl back out if I can't completely latch her in.
Her in shed from the end of January.
Her on my arm to show her size.
She is the messiest snake, I swear. Here, she had knocked over her water and peed. She pees multiple times a week and dumps her water dish over at least another 1-2 times a week. I'm beginning to wonder if it will be worth giving her a particulate bedding at this point....hopefully a bigger water dish will at least keep her from tipping it over.
And her goofy little face.
The heat panels are officially on their way, so hopefully they'll be here no later than next week. Her cage is all ready, minus the heat, so once the panels arrive she can be moved out of her tub, but I still need to get the other cage put together.

Beautiful animal
Have you tried a dog bowl for a water dish? The kinds that are larger on the bottom so that they just get pushed around rather than tipped over.

Re: Riverrun
Her tub isn't big enough to fit a larger dish. I've got a tub exactly like what I use with my 6.5' boa so I'm hoping that will stop her for awhile, and I'll be using that once she's moved into her T12.

Re: Riverrun
Wow CtB, River has really grown and looks fantastic! Congrats on your success with her. She's lucky to have you as her keeper.

Re: Riverrun
She really has! It's amazing to see how much she dwarves her size just from November. She's still behind but she's really exploded in size. I may pull her out today and get at least a SerpWidgets measurement.
Soon she'll be sharing Cloud's rabbits!

I've been talking about it for awhile, and she finally got moved into her T12! Bud has also made the move.
Here she is the very moment I set her in the T12. Her pupils are dilated like nobody's business. lol She's usually on the move, but she was so excited she was frozen in place for many minutes before she started to rapidly explore the enclosure. I tried to buy some hides, but came to find out LLL was sold out of the smaller size I wanted, so she'll have to wait until Reptile Basics sends me some.
And later that night (or maybe it was the next morning), greeting me from her basking shelf. She tends to spend day time hours laying on the ground on her hot side, and moves up to her basking shelf during the night, on either the side where the panel is or the other side.
Also, today was feeding day again, so she got her second medium rat, her first meal in her new enclosure. She is probably about ready to move to larges, but I was going to wait until she was 1,200 grams, since that's when the smallest listed large rat size on Big Cheese becomes 15% of her weight. She should be nearly there by now, if she isn't already there, so her next meal may be a large rat!
And apparently I forgot to post feeding pics from the last feeding, so here they are! This was a day or two before I moved her into her new enclosure, and she ate 10 days ago.
