This weekend Feather had her first proper handling and she was a little star! She already seems much more laid back than Princess, she wasn't skittish in the least and after a bit of an explore she got herself comfy along my forearm and just chilled out there for five minutes or so seemingly having a snooze. She did this a couple of times, and when I went to put her back into her faun she didn't seem to want to let go of my hand.

We gave her an hour or so to settle and then offered her a rat fluff. The boas' reputation for eating like a dustbin looked shaky while she ignored it, but I left it for her overnight and she'd scoffed it in the morning.

Hopefully, the OH has given her blessing as long as it's the last one.

Never say never, but much as I love Princess a lot of the time I might as well have just bought an empty viv. One of the reasons I'm not posting as much about her recently is that there's only so many ways to say "She's still in her cave."

Ta, she's been an angel so far. To be fair to Princess, squinting into her cave with a torch revealed that she's gone blue, so she does at least have an excuse at the moment. If she's not up and about in a couple of weeks though I'm poking her with a stick!

Feather chomped again last night. I went to bed quite early while she was still asleep so I left the fluff in the door to her warm cave and this morning she'd hoovered it up.
