You know what's nice?

When your female mouser becomes a ratter.

I have a female OD Enchi Pastel het G-Stripe that I have been trying to grow up since I picked her up in September 2017. Not only was she a mouser, but oddly enough she wouldn't eat live. Even eating frozen thawed, I couldn't give them directly to her. Instead, I'd have to lay them in her tub and leave her alone. Guess how long it took me to figure that out?

So about 6 weeks ago she just starts refusing them and then went into shed. She is only 400 grams so it wasn't like she hit the wall or anything, but it had been a solid month of her not eating. I have a few snakes that only eat live and one of them refused a weanling because they were in shed. Just out of curiosity, I put it in the mouser girl's tub. Bamm!!! She nailed it and ate. Thinking it could just be a fluke, I let her go for about 10 days and tried it again. Whammo!!! Holy Success Batman. Two rats in a row. I could have said Jinkies, but I didn't want to mix my childhood shows up, and that is a Scooby Doo reference. Hopefully, now she can start putting some size on her so I can work her into my plans. She is quite a looker.

Anyways, feel free to share some of your stories where you had a nice, unexpected experience. BP related or not is up to you, just as long as it was something that gave you some joy.

isn't 500 grams a little light for a year and a half female? assuming you picked her up in sep 2017 as a hatchling.
