Shayna left me a lot of presents today. She still weighs in about 1,800G and continues to eat like clockwork every 2 weeks on a small rat.
She seems to enjoy being handled the least of all my snakes, and I do not handle her as much as the others as a result. However, in the past few months, she seems more skittish than normal. She doesn't bite, but gets spooked easy, even bumping into herself, or me, etc. and jerking back. She's always done that, but it seems more. Of course, she's still a big sweetheart, and tends to calm down with a few minutes of handling. I handle the boas often and Yafe, the Carpet Python, and even Solana the scaleless corn a lot, and it used to be just Shayna and Figment (corn) snake wise. Maybe I am just used to how deliberate and confident the other snakes are now and in contrast, she seems worse. Anyway, just talking out loud. I will plan to handle her a little more frequently and see if that changes.
In the meantime, she's a beauty.
