Hi, Strawb, sorry we hijacked your thread there somewhat, although it'll have been relevant to Tia's history.
How is she settling in? Bet she's becoming laid back already?
I can recommend the 'Complete Ball Python' by the way - got my copy in the post today and it's mint - doesn't look as if anyone's read it. (Won't stay that way for long lol.) Only had a quick flick through but what I have read is excellent. Price is daunting - I suppose it's classed as a specialist publication, but definitely worth it.
Good luck with Tia - let us know how you get on. |

Hi Lilith,
I took Tia out for her nightly exercise and she didn't ball up for the first time. She's still very nervous as you'd imagine, but after a long hard stare at my fizz (and nothing can stare like a snake) she seemed to decide that the ugly mug in front of her wasn't any threat and had a quick wander around.
Don't worry about hijacking the thread. I was wondering if to start a second one on peoples views on captive farming. The more people talk about it and raise awareness the better.
Like you I've also found this forum invaluable. I'm going to look into the `Complete Python`. Thanks for the reading tips everyone. Time to order and start reading.

Bless her, I'm glad she's settling.
We've just been discussing the 'Complete Ball Python' over on the general section - 'A Blessing' thread - looks as if there are cheaper places to get it than Amazon, or as if there is now a paperback available (mine's a hardback.) I couldn't get much info on the net at all or even ascertain if it was in print in the UK. Probably not - probably an American import.
A thread on captive farming could be a good idea. I wish I'd been more aware of this trade - although I don't regret buying Shahi, bless him.
All the best with Tia. |
