Again If The SNAKE is happy with her size then you should be happy with her size! Dont try to make her bigger then she wants to be.. And dont be affraid to let her do what she does best!
YAY, JAS!!!!

I completely understand the 1500 gram "rule", and the 92 hot 82 cool "rule", and the two identical hides "rule", etc, etc, etc. All these "rules" are designed to help the novice succeed with his/her first experience keeping these wonderful snakes. However, it is important for the intermediate keepers (those who just graduated from novice) to realize that there is more than one way to skin a cat (excuse me, I'm not advocating skinning cats, its just an old saying!!!) Thats where JAS's posts are so incredibly valuable to this forum. HE thinks outside the box, and is helping the rest of us to do so as well.

JAS, please, PLEASE, don't be discouraged by those who question or even challenge your methods. You bring an incredibly valuable point of view to this forum. And I've grown to absolutely love your wit and style in your posts! Keeps things interesting!!!

THANKS, JAS!!!
