    Question Something A Little Strange

    IVE HAD MY GIRL MORRIGHAN FOR TWO WEEKS NOW SHES VERY CURIOUS AND QUITE ACTIVE. THIS MORNING WHEN I WOKE UP SHE SAW ME MOVE AROUND AND SHE STILL SAT THERE BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES SHE STARTED TO PUSH HER NOSE INTO THE SIDE OF HER TANK NOW I DONT KNOW IF I SHOULD BE ALARMED. MY TEMPS ARE JUST RIGHT AS I WATCH THEM VERY CLOSELY AND HUMIDITY IS GREAT IS SHE JUST BEING SILLY OR IS THIS TEH SIGN OF A PROBLEM. AFTER MY PAST EXPERIENCES I REALLY DONT WANT ANY THING TO BE WRONG WITH OUR LITTLE GIRL

    Question Re: Something A Little Strange

    I can not remember if she has eaten for you allready or not.If she has eaten for you then i dont think she is stressed out or anything.Do you handle her yet? I have never had a curious ball python(corn snake yes) if your 100% sure your temps are correct,she just might be wondering what you are doing .If she has not eaten for you yet then something might have her stressed out.

    Re: Something A Little Strange

    She Has Not Eaten For Me Yet Actually But I Have No Idea What Could Be Causing Her To Act Like That She Has 2 Hides And Im Positive On My Temps She Has A Vine With Leaves And Im At A Loss For What Could Be Bothering Her. I Want My Snakes To Be Happy.I have handled her a little after her first week and i think she almost likes being out of her cage.but she does seem to be moving around a little less than she has been, for a while i thought she would never stop moving

    I catch my Zeke doing this. It looks to me he is looking or ways to get out. He will do it along the corners of the cage.

    Re: Something A Little Strange

    So you had her over a week and she still hasn't eaten for you, and then you started handling her?

    You need to leave her alone for another week and offer her food again. If she does not eat for you then, do not handle her at all for another week, then offer food again. If it were my snake, I would not handle it until it has eaten for me 4+ times in a row. What are you trying to feed her?

    Re: Something A Little Strange

    well not exactly handling her i might pick her up to fill her water or clean up any urates etc but as far as keeping her out to explore i guess you would call it she hasnt been out im just parnoid because this is all still new to me and i want to make sure both my babies are happy ive been trying full grown mice the same as ive been giving maleagant because they're quite close in size.

    Re: Something A Little Strange

    Well typing in orange (which is incredibly hard to see online) and in caps then waiting all of 45 minutes, then typing in orange and in yet bigger caps isn't likely helping you get a lot of responses.
