Haha welcome to the world of pushing.Originally Posted by Stearns84
Wow that face... Gene has become a pusher, he makes it to day 5 before he starts to push at the bottom of his enclosure. Weird because with his nose the floor his body is a good 7" up and just shakes with force. I'll tap him with the paper towel roll and crack the door. He stops and rests his head. But it's strictly a food push.
I'd love for us all to take a picture of our snakes again against a common product for size comparisons. Gene just hit 8', my apartmwnt kitchen is exactly 8' and his tail still hit the carpet. He has gained substantial girth too. Last time I weighed him he was at 11.1 lbs.
On a different note Gene pissed on yet another thermometer and broke it. So I bought a small one today and put a small amount of Velcro on it to stick it to his skyhide. I am not one to put tape on or in his enclosure but he can't reach this so I think we'll be ok.

And yeah, Caesar does that stand up body shake thing too when he is pushing at the center brace. It shakes so hard that all the cage stack doors rattle like an earthquake.
As for a thermometer, get an Acurite. They are bullet proof. Caesar has pushed his into his water bowl twice and it stopped working but after i took the battery out and let it sit for a couple days to dry out, it worked again haha.
And here is what Caesar does after being 2 days late on dinner because of Christmas...he was not happy.....btw he is quiet in the pic because it was a few hours after his jumbo rat lol.
