Everyone's fat and happy

Last night was feeding night, and haven't posted pics of everyone in awhile so here yall go.

Bellatrix is eating her first rat! She's normally 6-7g fuzzies but my rats had a litter so figured I'd let her try a 7g pinky. Took her a fair bit of sniffing and finally a lazy grab (she normally pounces fuzzies) but she got it down though.

Lupin gets a large mouse pinky, but this fellow is still a little shy. He'll normally grab it off the tongs, but doesn't like to eat in front of me. I'm not super concerned though as Bella was a bit shy at first as well.

Finally Estella. The past two feedings she's just shut her mouth and taken her peach fuzzy. Normally she raises a big fuzz about dinner time and I have to leave it in there for her. If anything her feeding antics are amusing :D

And no pics of Salt as he's somewhere in his enclosure hiding out. Sometimes when he goes into shed he seemingly vanishes and shows up under his water bowl a couple days later. Drives me a little nutty, but he's easily my favorite snake so I put up with his crap. haha.

Hope yall enjoyed. All the best.

great looking snakes. it is so hard to tell how big everyone's snakes are by just the pictures, but when people say what they are eating it gives a good idea how big they are.

Humble, great pics! And don't worry, most of the young colubrids are shy at first, they grow out of this :D

All your critters are looking great Humble. :)

That San Diego gopher has beautiful coloration. I've never seen one before.

Thanks! Yea, she's the applegate strain. I saw that you'd sent a fella a PM on Fauna. Those are about the going prices for Applegate's. Picked Bellatrix up for about $75 at the local show. As adults all that pink turns to white...just gorgeous snakes. All the best :D

Thanks. Waiting to hear back on what's available. Hopefully I can snag one for myself.
