Pat the baby biak green tree python

[SDA]

Thanks. Yeah, he gets fed every 7 days now although I'll sometimes sneak him a meal 5-6 days in. He usually goes poop within 4 days if it's a bigger meal like a fuzzy mouse but if it's a pinkie, he will sometimes wait until the second one to go poop.

How is Ganja doing?

Great to hear pat is regular lol!

Ganja is still alive an kicking but still having a prolapse issue. I am able to assist it back in only massaging the tail now so at least it is easier and a whole lot less physically stressful on her to treat. I guess this counts as handling sessions even if it involves one hand clamping on the head and the other rubbing her butt. We will have to discuss with the vet soon but for now she isn't getting worse and is at least well hydrated (her poo and urate last night was surrounded by a giant wet spot on the pad) and active.

If nothing else this has been a great life lesson in the treatment and anatomy of snakes and their problems. After this I can handle anything short of the dog eating one of the snakes

Well good to know she's still kicking and hasent gotten worse. You might just have a special needs snake. I got one of those. Rango is my semi special needs snake. Not quite sure if he has a little neuro issue or what but the previous owner did something to him as he is kind of scared to be held and will flail a little unless you hold him kind of tight. He cruises around the cage fine and eats and poops fine. Have had him for over year and he is such a character. Always thinking it's dinner time lol.

Ask and ye shall receive, woman!!

Here is a semi terrible pic of Pat after a hard 2 hours of going ballistic on his plastic plants. He LOVES those things and climbs and down them and inside them for hours. He decided to use it as a pillow this time though. Caesar, Dottie and now Pat are what i call the "Trouble Trio". It's only the pythons but at night about 30 mins after the lights go out, those 3 are off to the tracks. Caesar is all over the glass door wanting petting, Dottie is out pushing the houses around and windhsield wiping and Pat is out climbing all over his sticks and plants and doing the scuba steve in the water bowl. Last night, i thought he was going to hurt himself. He did a Caesar kind of push but with his head pointing straight down into the Reptichips lol. Guess he was determined to find the bottom. But these 3 are always out nightly unless it is 1-4 days after feeding. They are quiet until then.

He is SUCH a cute little bugger !!!

So much personality in such a small body

He is such a busy body, too! So curious

He is!! The guy is hilarious when i go to change stuff in his cage or water during the day. He will wake up and stretch out to look at my hand like 'OMG is dinner coming!!??' Then when nothing, he retracts and curls back up and goes to sleep lol. He's like a mini Caesar except he doesnt really look at you like Caesar. I swear Caesar looks right into your eyes. Pat just kind of looks at you but not 'into' you per say.

I got a little yellow dumerils!! He is starting at an early age how to push the gauge lol. He's about 20 inches long and already starting to destroy stuff...

That is just not right. I think pat might be broken!

Our little baby Biak comes out every time I turn his light off - he seems a good bit more shy than Pat

Pat was kind of shy when i got him. Now he is kinda bossy lol. At night about 30 mins after lights out, he is out all over the place. Usually at the front perch looking out the door waiting for food i'm assuming as when he is full, he is usually at the back perch sleeping. But come day 4+, he seems to hang out at the front perch a lot more haha.

And he never used to really like the floor with the paper towels. Once i put in the Reptichips, its now part of his routine to hit the floor and dig or cruise around followed by the soothing tub lol. Then up on the front perch or the front plants just pacing the front of the door.

He is pretty hilarious. He is like Caesar in that he will follow you around if you come to the front of the cage at night. I'm guessing cause he thinks dinner might be coming. He just locks onto you and machine tongue flicks while tracking haha. Typical GTP 'it's night and i will eat you if you open this cage'.

Heres a pic of him sleeping on the door perch. I opened the door to get the pic and he lifted his head but wouldnt turn around haha. I feed him during the day but i guess with no mouse smell, he wasnt going to turn around.

He has grown like a weed. I still cant get over how much in the past 3 months. He was about 10 inches or so when i got him. He fit in one of those little square deli cups with tons of room to move around. Now when i catch him at night, he is easily longer than his cage. I'm guessing about 20 inches now. He looked so small in his cage. Now seeing him in the cage, he looks more proportional to it lol. I ended up taking one of his live plants out and replacing it with another plastic hanging plant as he LOVES those plastic hanging plants haha.
