Not much to update on Milagro: she's doing very well...she looks & acts "empty" every four days so that's when she eats another f/t pinky as she just now did.
Her digestion is excellent...I haven't normally fed hatchlings this often, but I've been going by her appearance & behavior, & pinkies aren't very filling.
She's been active in her cage...I enjoyed seeing her basking on her branch this morning for a while, but she's still pretty shy. I cleaned her cage a little while ago
& held her briefly before I put her back in, & just before I fed her- she's pretty squirmy yet (quite normal) but didn't try to bite, & it didn't deter her appetite one bit.
She's a great little rat snake...I've also "caught" her taking a bath in her water dish a few times, so I just gave her one that's a little bigger. Florida rat snakes
do like water...occasional soaking is not a "sign" of anything, it's just what they do.
Still have the last 5 "infertile" eggs incubating...not due yet.
