Update on Boba.... I’ve had him for almost a year now and he is the absolute best little noodle. Quirky and dumb sometimes (I’ve never seen a snake miss-strike as often as he does, but he always gets his food eventually) and sometimes eats the mouse backwards. He’s derpy and fun-loving, always wanting to explore new things. Recently found a way to burrow under his water dish, and that has become his new favorite place to hide, even though he’s so dirty by the time he gets out! Haha.
But he’s growing a lot and seems really healthy. Perfect eater, though he’s starting to outgrow large mice, looking for more snacks and soon as he’s done eating. And he does not like the smell of rats... so we’re trying different approaches.
