Wiggles, the Children's Python

I agree, that's a small variation, nothing I'd worry about at all.

Wiggles weighed in at 302g, up from 296g.


So, he continues the see-saw pattern that he's been in for the past two years. I think this is healthy for a mature snake.

Wiggles has also begun his summer fast. He last ate on May 31st and I won't feed him again until September 1st. I'm curious to see how much weight he will lose. Last year, he fasted for two months and lost 22 grams.

I, also, reconfigured his enclosure for summer. I turned off the heat mat that I use to maintain minimum temps during the cooler months, and I'm freezing a half gallon of water in a jug that I will place in the tub during the daytime to give him a cool refuge from the worst heat.
