Pixie the tanimbar scrub python

[redshepherd]

Just fed her an f/t weaned rat. I was offering on tongs, but she wouldn't strike and wrap. So I left it in front of her hide, and she spent 10 minutes sniffing it and then slowly wrapped it on her own to start finding the head. It took her about an hour to actually find the head and eat it, but she didn't give up. In fact, I think she was getting more and more frustrated, and persevered. LOL. Hopefully she's easy to feed every week.

Here she is in her hide. I stuck my iphone camera into the entrance. Probably the worst picture I've ever taken, but I really wanted to get a picture...

I'm actually weirded out by those vertical lines on her side. Pretty sure they're markings, but not totally sure.

Congrats on picking up Pixie! She's very pretty.

Looks like the little bends they get in their scales from staying coiled up.
