Checked on Kaz last night cos she is in shed...

god she is soooo thin, I sat there wondering if she is going to make it..

she has folds of skin by her neck where she is so thin...
so i need to know if it would hurt to try and feed her as she is in shed, her eyes have cleared, and i am waiting for the shed, but i am also real worried...

i will weigh her once she has shed.

till she came to me she was taking a pinkie maybe every 1-3 feeds on assist

she has taken for me

1 live multi pup 9g
1 defrost multi pup 10g
1 live multi weaner 13g
and 2 live rat pups 11g each.
then she went into shed.

I have more live mice here for her when she has shed, but i was toying with giving her a feeed today as her eyes have cleares, she needs it BE, badly

Good news,

Kaz just shed complete and is now munching another live mouse...it is dead..


now maybe i can get cracking with her, have another three mice here so that is good for three more feeds...by which time i will have live multis..

so its looking good, and boy does she need to gain some nice weight...

i am worrying because she is way thin, she has loose skin riund her neck, i can see her back bone and the bones on her head are prominent.

i guess i am being impatient to get her to a good healthy weight and see her looking as good as my other two.

yeah i know i am being daft...after all it is only a snake isnt it...

but she is my snake and i cant help it, i love all my animals...

Maybe once she is eating those really nice multis she will get better...i think so.

Though i was talking to someone the other day about live feeding and he told me it did not matter what live he gave his royals...if it had a heart beat they ate it...

takes him 30 minutes to feed all of his royals live and around two hours on defrost...lol..

I don't think Daz meant you shouldn't worry about a snake, just that yours sounds as though its doing fine.
