Exactamundo- it's a win/win for everybody .

Nothing like a good meal to break the ice . The new guy ate without hesitation tonight.

that was quick! always nice when the newcomer takes it's first meal. morelia love to eat. the greediest eaters I've ever had in my collection. bloods and short tail not far behind.

Zig,

Forgot to ask;

Another one from Nick?

I have been "looking" and planning my attack here at home too. Think I may just add it, not say anything and probably won't get noticed for a year or more LOL!

@ Gio- That's an affirmative on the Nick Mutton production. What can I say? I love his work with Morelia. He's got so many beautiful animals to choose from. I also received my copy of The Complete Carpet Python today. Incredible book! Re: that attack plan-sometimes it's better to ask for forgiveness than for permission . When I was waiting for my jungle to hatch last year I "inadvertently " got a coastal in the interim. That was Reinz's fault though . He sent me over the edge by posting pictures of his amazing coastals.

@ Dave- I normally wait about 24-72 hours before feeding new arrivals. The feeding records showed he hadn't eaten in about 10 days so I called the breeder and asked if it was ok to try feeding him. He said it was fine so I gave it a shot. He's gonna knock off a few more of the mice fuzzys that my jungle outgrew too fast and I'll try to move him to rats after that. I like the fact that he's perching after his meal instead of ducking into his warm hide. I have a feeling I'm going to like this guy.

You guys are to funny! I wish I could find a guy that loves my herps but at least I'm learning how to find a way around it if I get one that doesn't. AND...It's all you guys' fault that I ended up with my Caramel Coastal from Nick!! I'm loving her! She already is eating some rejects from the others, lol! She also loves to perch after a good meal

Mr. Right is out there. He doesn't need to love herps, he needs to love you. my better half recently asked me "what would you do if you had a girl who said it's either me or the snakes?" I told her I would take the snakes because I would know that a girl who demanded that didn't really love me. you can't say you love someone and then ask them to give up their passion. No, she wasn't thinking about making such a demand, she just likes to ask hypothetical questions.

@ Jumper- That's right our coastals have the same dad. How's the sister Michonne doing these days ? My male just hit 600g and is smashing any food I offer him. Rats, mice, chicks, ASFs doesn't matter.

[xcjumper]

Aww Thanks Dennis! You make me teary eyed. I have a double whammy though....Snakes and Horses. I think the snakes are the easier part as my passion with horses tends to send guys running for the hills, lol! That's ok...I'm interesting with lots of passions

And, yes, I have had a guy want me to choose between my horse and him.....hence, I'm single. I agree with your SO, no asking people to give up what they are passionate about...life without passion is boring

that's what carpets do! with the exception of the occasional carpet that just won't take rats. other than that I've not known them to turn down anything. quail and rabbit are also greatly appreciated.

S'ven had his first successful shed last night, has eaten twice, and will get fed again tonight. So far so good with this guy.
