my 2 sweethearts, of course..

i have a few pics again. i always have pictures... haha, i swear, one day i'll be considered a "spammer" because of allll the pictures i post.

Pandora ate a HUGE rat tonight. i had my family over for Thanksgiving (my moms side) and i had to feed her tonight because my uncle wanted to see. they were mostly going for Apollo.. but, he has cloudy eyes and he's really grey. yay, first shed with me!!!

Anywho, i tried feeding him a live mouse, and i had the tongs ready in case something happened. Apollo was scared of it, since he couldn't see. the mouse then started trying to nip at Apollo, and i got mad at it; when i picked the mouse up, it lunged at Apollo (and missed) and then lunged at me. the stupid thing bite my thumb, so i decided it needed to die. my cousins were around me, watching intently.. so i showed them a nice way to kill a mouse. i put it in a pillow case and smacked it against the wall. the crack was kind of odd sounding... but when i opened the pillow case up, the mouse twitched a few times then stopped moving. i tried seeing if Apollo would eat it like that, but he was clearly not interested (the mouse was alive, just knocked out). i gave it to Pandora, she loved it.

So.. onto why im making this post. the pet store only had one size rat today and it was the large kind that i showed in my previous post. she had to work hard, and i didnt think she could do it... but now she's all fat and too stuffed to move.



and.. i'm amazed at how drastically Apollo's colors change when he's in shed. i never noticed with Pandora because she's not as light as him.. but check out the comparison



K. now that i've turned into Cody... i'm done. thanks for reading my whole long journal entry..

Pfft, when Pelota goes into shed, she's way duller than that. He might get even duller. When Pelota started the blue eyes last shed, she wasn' too dull until a day or so later. She looked almost silver-grey all over.

And yeah, don't be stealing my trademark chapter book posts.

Good luck with Apollo's shed, and I guess good luck to Pandora who has to digest that big ol' rat and mouse(freaking garbage disposal). 8)

Pandora looks like she swallowed a sasuage

Issa also get's duller than that, his black areas end up looking like a dusty grey...well his entire body looks dusty really

he was a lot duller..... i couldnt really capture how he looked with my camera. i took like 10 pics, with the flash on and off and different lighting.. thats the best i could get :?

thank you!!!! i soaked him today for the first time, and he did awesome. he just sorta chilled there, with his head on my hand. he yawned a couple times and drank some water, and i think he might have fallen asleep.

Pandora is too fat to move and she cant fit in her hide without it falling over. heh... i poked where the rat is, and its definately going to be at least 4 more days til i can pick her up again.

thanks!!! hehe, you cant have him. he's a really cool snake, and he's adorable.... but he currently only eats live.

after the mouse tried biting him last night... im trying to have him never eat live again

EDIT: i took another pic of Pandora tonight.... hehe.... she definately had her share of a Thanksgiving dinner, too.

Wow, is that Pandora's hide in that pic? It looks like not even a quarter of her would coil up in there, empty or full. I hope its camera angle trickery stuff, lol.

dont worry, she can fit. usually, the only time she CANT fit is after she eats, because she's all fat and what not. especially right now... but i replaced her new hide with her old, bigger hide... i'll switch back once she's not fat anymore.
