Victoria has her first quail!

[Gio]

Lol nice. And thanks, think i'll start cutting them too. And yeah Caesar is going to get one in a few days. I cant believe how fast they digest. He ate 2 small rats yesterday and today the lump is gone and he is out and about. Even took him out today and he was happy to sit on me and then explore all over. I know its only been 1 day but I am shocked how fast they digest. It puts boas to shame on the digesting lol. And it's funny, whenever I go past his cage, he pokes his head out and stands up at the front door. Then after a couple of mins if nothing happens he back pedals back into his warm hide and just leaves his nose sticking out. I also think he's going into shed again as his neck/face is starting to get wrinkly again. Good thing I didn't buy a female lol.

I really need to buy a little chest freezer for the snakes lol. The pythons are eating me outta the house. Even my BP who usually fasts for winter is on a binge now. She has been pounding small rats like clockwork every 5-7 days lol.

Anyways, thanks for the beak tip lol, get it...beak...tip..clip I know, tacky lol.

Good deal bud!

Your boa is stunning! I love her actually. You've gone camera-less for too long.

I just fed Wallace about 30 seconds ago. He's shy but crossed his long branch to get the prey and hammered it. He was quite motivated today. I'm keeping to the 7-10 day schedule that Kris recommended and am quite happy with how things are going.

You have got me into looking for much smaller quail than I usually buy, but I should have expected this with a new, baby snake.

Variety is crucial IMO. If we can mix it up in size, variety, and frequency I think we'll be looking at healthy, long lived animals.

Boas are a whole different story for digestion, but I think learning their feeding regime is helpful when owning other snakes with the exception of extremely active and foraging colubrids. I am convinced 95% of captive snakes are overfed still.

Wallace is done with his rat now LOL!

When spring hits, I want to see a "Color Morph" post from you. Though I'm a natural "Mother Nature" pattern guy I can sure appreciate beauty.

I like your animals and enjoy the differences in various collections. Its a great hobby to share with friends that have different things from your own.

Sadly, none of us are anywhere close to one another to stop by for a beer and feeding event.

I have 1, ONE, UNO, snake friends that lives near me, the rest are on the boards LOL!
