Help for a newbie - Python On Cold Side!

[tttaylorrr]

>> 1. Really? Wow, there does seem to be quite a lot of myths regarding keeping these critters I'm a big fan of following those with demonstrated knowledge. For instance, I wouldn't go to a doctor and say "But I googled it! That can't be true!". Both of you are the experts here and I really appreciate the advice. I will follow it and feed her in-enclosure next time.

>> 2. Ok. That will slate her for a second attempt early next week. Got it. I have not weighed her yet but her breeder card says she weighed in at 85g on December 30, 2016. She has absolutely grown quite a bit since then, however. I would feel comfortable saying shes over 100g at the moment, though I don't know exactly.

you've done awesome so far! just take it one day at a time. she'll be just fine, and she's lucky to have you. 😊 keep us updated, i can't wait for your first successful feeding!

And next time she comes out of her hide grab some pics to post. All I've seen is the enclosure which you did a great job on. You also have a Galary on your profile you can add pics to and that way next year we can all look back at her growth ect...

She was out cruising around the enclosure just a few minutes ago, let me see if I can snap a quick pic or two...

Nah. She's right back in that same hide again with her nose sticking out I'm glad she likes it so much!
If she comes out again I'll grab a pic but otherwise I'll have to post some tomorrow.

Her Father was Enchi
Her Mother was Sulfur-Spider

I wanted a Cinnamon Banana but I'm a noobie to reptile keeping and didn't want to invest that kind of cash into something with no prior experience. Perhaps in the future.
Right now I'm really feeling a connection to my "Suriyothai" and in spite of the set backs I'm very glad to have her.

[tttaylorrr]

no worries, let her be. and hey! no setbacks here, just learning and growing from you both. 😀

Sounds like she is happy.. A stressed BP wouldnt be hanging out in their hide, a hiding ball is a Happy ball.
Good job.

Temp gun delivered just now.
I gunned the hides.

Hot side - 91
Cold side - 80


Looks like everything is spot on!

Thanks again to both of you for all your help through this mess.
I have finally arrived at the mountaintop. Next summit is getting her feeding down, but for now I'm just going to leave her be the rest of today and through the weekend.
Thanks!

[tttaylorrr]

you've done it!!! congrats! now you can relax and enjoy your new baby.

Quick question;

I have not seen the snake since Thursday when she went back inside her hide.
Is it normal for the BP to hide for days on end?
I've been up late the past few days and haven't even seen her cruising around at night like she used to.

Just wanted to double check that something isn't wrong.
The humidity is just a tad low, nothing a misting won't help, and the temps look fine.
I have not opened the tank at all since the failed feeding.
