Re: Shayna - Our Albino Spider Ball
Shayna used the bathroom last night, and got weighed today when I cleaned her tank.
She weighed in at 1,770 grams. Exactly what she weighed dry on 9/30/18.
She's had one rat in the past 3 months (she started her "fast" on 9/30/18 after having a rat on 9/16/18) on 11/13/18 and has lost zero weight in the past 3 months.
Amazing how efficient BP's, and snakes in general, can be. She's basically been brumating, and spends 90% of her time, even at night, curled up and hidden. She hasn't been hunting or exploring, for the most part, and I was shocked when she took the rat on 11/13.
Here's Shayna refusing to stay still for a photo and weight. She's looking a little faded (it's also bad lighting) and hasn't shed since 9/29/18, so she might be due soon. She usually sheds 3 to 4 times a year.

Re: Shayna - Our Albino Spider Ball
She's still beautiful! Looks like she hasn't missed a meal.

Thank you!
She's missed MANY meals! That's the beauty of snakes, and BP's in particular! They can miss a meal, or many, and still be healthy and happy long-term.
Edit: She's missed meals because she wanted to, not because I didn't offer, to be clear .

Absolutely!
I just got my 1st noodle on Dec. 8th but he's a PORKER. He'd eat 7 days/wk if I left it up to him. Never had f/t until I brought him home last month.

Glad he switched to F/T easily. They usually do, especially when young.
When young, they tend not to skip meals too often. However, as they age, it's more common. So when/if it happens, just remember, it's not uncommon for BP's. We will be here for support either way .
