My Coasty Keeps Growing!

[jmcrook]

Hey JM,

She's a terrible eater, almost as bad as the royal, but when she eats she takes A LOT of food in. Usually 2 large rats, or a decent sized small bunny.

She's the nicest, most personable snake here. I wish she'd eat regularly, but in a way I like when my snake control their intake. The boa and even Wallace will refuse at certain times. Usually when in shed.

How are things going at the new place?

I just got word my cage is a few days away from being shipped!

That's one of the nice things about Geoffrey's winter fasting habits, no worries of him getting obese but it is annoying after a few months. Gerald won't take anything in shed or come out of his hide at all. Haven't tried to feed Phyllis in shed for a while, but she's taken prey in the past while in blue. Took her considerably longer to figure it out and get the rats down though.

Things are going alright, thanks for asking. Getting my Drawing 1 and Design 1 syllabi prepped for the new semester that starts next week. Kinda nervous about establishing myself at a new campus in a new setting and all, but I know I'll be fine after the ball gets rolling. I tend to make things a bit more high anxiety than they need to be sometimes lol!

It is a bit of a culture shock though. Being from a more progressive and bigger city, moving to a town of 24,000 people is definitely a big transition. Most noteworthy for me is the severe lack of solid beer options around here. I'm admittedly a bit of a brew snob and apparently brewing has only been legal in Mississippi in the last several years so my choices are lacking to say the least. Having beer refrigerated at the store is apparently a new thing in the last 6-7 years down here!?!? Yikes... I got a bit spoiled having numerous craft beer bars and bottle shops in Columbia, MO. I'll survive though.

That's awesome your new cage is almost ready! I expect a deluge of photos hahah. Ali at AP said mine should be shipping next week. Not sure what day but after 18.5 weeks of waiting I'm beyond ready for this thing to be up and running. Definitely doing a sky hide and possibly a perch. Perch will be easier to install post-build than the sky hide so I may wait to install closet rods and holders until I figure out how much space I'll really have to maneuver in there with an, at times, wiley 7-8' Phyllis hahaha!

Geez that post got a little long winded...
