wow you guys are quick when you wake up in the morning. i post this. run outside and smoke a quick cigarette and i am back with 5 responses...
ok some more info.
yea i know that thermometer is a joke, and i know the humidity is definately off, i just didn't know how essential they were. apparently very essential eh? first thing i'll do when i get back from christmas break will be get a digital thermometer and do something about the humidity getting out. I can't stress enough how much i'd like this snake to grow up to be a model pet.
with some of you guys telling me about how i need to not mess with her for a while, i have had her 2 weeks as of last friday. so that gap has been crossed. Maybe she is comfortable now and a bit arrogant? i don' tknow the complete temperment of snakes.
Also, i am 18 years old, and though i am very mature in maintaining my snake, i cannot say the same for all of my friends. They like to get very close to her cage, take pictures of her, tap fingers on the glass, move quickly around her. I tell them time and time again to be slow around her and not to mess with her. They think this means tap slowly and only jump once every minutes rather than twice a minute. I know there isn't much i can do about that...but would putting up some kind of visual barrier around the glass be beneficial at all? *sigh*
So what i have gathered...
1. feed her only once a week, but make it a fat one
2. get my temp and humidity fixed ASAP
3. try handling her a bit more, take her out of the cage
Anything else?
Side note, right as you guys responded, she came out of her hide box, looked right at me and just passed by, got a drink from her dish (first time i've seen that, and is just resting on the cool side of her cage
