Wow what a warm responce. To answer some of your questions, I just got "Felix" on the 24th June. I have had him long enough to become a wreck worrying about him eating, if the tank is warm enough or too warm, how the humidity is doing, Do I have enough hides, ect. But I am starting to calm down a bit (not really, but it looks good on this screen.lol.). The more that I hear how hardie thees guys are the better I feel. I sit and watch him at times and wonder what is going wrong when he does something new. Perfect example, Tonight, I come out and he ls stretched out under the light. Not curled up in the corner or hiding in one of his 4 hides. I had to sit and stare at him a bit to make sure he was breathing. He lifted his little head and then chilled back out. I suppose this means that Maby he is getting used to things, either that or I am in big trouble and something is terrably wrong. I don't know.
As far as the feeding thing, No luck yet. I am sure it is just a bit too soon yet, although, as soon as the little fuzzy thaws out, I am going to give it another try. I guess I will try the ever recomended Fuzzy Zomby dance, or the quivering Zomby mouse. I think this time I will just try it in his tank and not moving him this time. I realize this is not the best thing to do as far as taming, but hopefully it won't cause any permonate damage. At least I will be using hemostats. SO wish me luck..
Oh yes, Felix is just the regular run of the mill Ball Python, nothing too flashy but he is a q-t.
Cheers
Ray
