Mazikeen progression thread

did Maze strike out? such a bummer, and yes both of you made mistakes. A sounds a bit ignorant and just needed some common sense snake handling info. when i had my 6 year old cousin handle the snakes, i explained 2 rules before she even saw a snake: 1, IMMEDIATELY let me know if you are scared, nervous, or don't want to hold them anymore, and 2, their heads are not to be touched or gotten close to. honestly that's the only rules i have, besides you know...not throwing the snake across the room if you freak out.

remember: mistakes are important learning experiences, and are just as valuable as any resource out there. live and learn, friend.

No, luckily she is not a biter. She retreats and freezes, and had only struck defensively once while in shed, right after I got her.

True. Everything is a learning experience -- and this was definitely an eye opener for me.

Those are my two rules too. If you get scared tell me. NEVER touch their heads. Ever! Boop HATES her head touched....hates it. And her and maze are twinzies because she retreats and turns into a pet rock too lol. Not only do they look alike, they act alike too.

that'd be interesting! have to make sure the lighting is about the same so possibly doable lol.

maze looks so brown in most lighting and while she is brownish, she's not /that/ brown. weird how that works.

Boop too. While she has darkened she tends to look brownish too. But she is more cream or tanish with blushing along her spine and sides.

Maze has that creamy-white color too, around her keyholes (i think that's what they're called? what the alien heads turned into lol) and along her belly. It's interesting how pastel can make a HRA look a lot more like a RA . Just looking at HRA and RA, I would have never assumed that one precedes the other lol.

Found her in her humid hide this morning. I think I need to start looking into a bigger one :p.
