Sinestra, the hypo jungle

[dakski]

Sounds great and thank you so much for the kind words and compliment; I do my best. People like you, who want what's best for their animals, and are receptive to help, make it all worthwhile .

Also, great on the record keeping. I too am meticulous about that. Sin looks like she's growing well and now is a great time to move up on prey size.

One point of advice, especially with boas and pythons, who don't use the bathroom regularly, especially as adults. Weigh only after bowel movements. The readings will be more accurate, and you will still see a positive trend over time in a growing snake, or the opposite in a fasting, or ill snake.

Behira gets fed every 3 weeks now as she's on medium rats. She usually uses the bathroom a few days before feeding day and that's when I weigh her. With the corn snakes, it's less of an issue, because they go like clockwork, 3-5 days after a meal. The Ball Python is similar to the boas.

Anyway, enough about bathroom schedules.

Sounds like you are doing great with Sin and keep us posted and keep up the good work.

Glad you asked about her weight and were concerned, but equally glad, at least I think, that she looks great.
