I've mentioned before that Saada, my cf09 normal, is a small girl, though, since she's just a pet, that's not a problem. When she arrived last November, though very well cared for and a good feeder, she only weighed 300g.
It's always nice to see them grow though and, after 11 months on Blackecho's feeding guide (with a fast that lasted from January into May) she's just shed and left me the usual pile. Weighing her today, I was pleased to see she'd reached 735g.
She came out for counterpane walkies, very full of herself and new and shiny with that beautiful blue sheen, and tonight I found her basking in her viv, so here she is.
Nothing glamorous in the world of royals, but I'm very proud of her.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks. She's beginning to, size-wise. She's always been a lovely girl, but when I got her she was 4 and had been fed mice all her life, which is why I think she never attained breeding weight - 2 large mice @ 45g every week, for a girl who should have been munching on a medium rat every fortnight, wasn't quite the same.
She's also beginning to throw her weight about, so to speak. She had a little patch of stuck shed last time; I put her in the damp pillowcase to ease it off, and when she came out, she was cross! It was a bit like I imagine arguing with a boa would be - she's STRONG!! |

Also, might as well mention - Surahi, my cb06 dinker, has recently shed and emptied too - 1460g! Another meal or two and she'll be breeding weight, not bad for a lass who was a confirmed mouse junkie up till this summer ...sadly we won't be breeding (although sorely tempted and so would Shahi be too, I imagine)but nice to know she's the weight she ought to be since being on her ratty diet. |

Ah, thanks but they're not rocks - the thing on the left is driftwood - some stuff called mopani wood which is marketed in the uk for aquariums. The thing on the right is one of the plastic 'Trixie' hides, a German brand which is undercutting the more expensive exoterra brand in this country ...they're cheap but effective and very good value. It's only Ziska, who's got a 5' viv, who has some rocks in her warm end to bask on, as she's a diurnal snake.
Looking at this photo, I keep thinking that I must put a bit of plastic greenery in at the warm end; the plantmat on the wall looks a bit stark.
Yes, if you're feeding Blitz his hammys in his viv, you won't be able to have much cover for the hammy to skulk in - though doesn't sound as if it'll have time to suss out any hiding places - Blitz sounds pretty efficient, congrats again! |

BTW, the rocks look great in the viv, i really want to put one in my viv, but since i'm feeding Blitz in the viv with live prey i don't want to be alot of things in Blitz way |

Thanks guys - lol yeah she's just sharpening her fangs for the next meal - I'm really pleased with her; she's such a sweetheart and so gentle, but show her a rat atm and she's on the ball! Long may it last. |

It's lovely to see her Bats, and that's a super weight gain she's given you. |

Beautiful little girl. Very glamorous too sporting her natural look, its very 2011.
I also had to look twice as I thought she was trying to eat the wood for a second. |
