The first week of my SO taking care of Sangre and Floyd went well. Their humidity was a bit high, so I showed her how to test the humidity before spraying. I also explained how to feed, and the differences in feeding habits between them both. I spent time showing her how to heat up the rat properly for the blood python, and how to check the proper temp of the rat.
So my living situation has changed, but my SO said that she would be happy to house my snakes until we get a place together. I just haven't been able to land a job in her city. So I've been slowly showing her everything I can think of when it comes to husbandry. At least I was able to get Sangre to eat in his enclosure, which will make feeding much safer and easier for her. Overall I am impressed with how she is doing. I think next week I will have her feed both snakes so she can get a hang for it. I will make sure she uses tongs for feeding the boa, as he likes to strike his prey. The blood python is lazy, he just slithers up to it and eats it. I also lost my phone today, so I won't be online as much.
