Well - OOOOUUCHHH!
I just went into her viv and lifted the hide she usually favours ...must have startled her as something whipped out like a mamba and gripped me! All I could do was to keep my hand still.
'Ziska! That's RUDE!'
Eventually madam deigned to let go of me and dived into my top, where she's still roosting, leaving me sucking gore from my hand, copious gore lol.
My fault, but what a madam she is!
Gotta love her though! |

pics or it didnt happen haha. never a dull moment with her is there.
i will probarbly go for 4x2x2 vivs with a shelf thats half the size of the floor in there depending on how big they get.
was reading a while back about bulls might also be pits in general cant remember that the males grow a fair bit faster than the females.
not a huge difference in length with my 2 but ivan is almost double the girth of mavis.
i was lucky that my corn phoenix never pooed on me when i had her.
she is currently getting busy with a very funky looking jungle corn at my friends, should make some interesting looking babies

Ah my pics are rotten - I've got a couple of deep scratches and numerous punctures across my knuckles ...she doesn't usually react like that when i go in to her viv; like I say, must have startled her as usually it's all hisses and headbutts. Atm got her all coiled up between my shoulderblades. Soppy snake!
Love her so much - she's worth a few bites (and she's nothing compared with new cat Molly who still bites me all the time lol.)
Always thought female snakes grew bigger than males but I may be wrong. Oooo your corn sounds to be doing well - hope the eggs are successful! |

wow she is nearly as thick as my wrist - and haven't been overfeeding either - she's a big strong fast pit- fab to handle but not for the faint hearted - mind you we know each other even if we're still on biting terms, lovely snake.
Good luck with Phoenix's eggs! |
