I think I got the message today. Nigel, my new olive python, had been pretty chill since he arrived on Wednesday. I knew he hadn't eaten in 10 days but I was waiting for my feeder order to arrive next week before attempting to feed him. That was until he snapped at the glass when I walked by today. I figured that was his way of saying, "feed me now human!". I found the smallest jumbo mouse in the freezer and thawed it for him. A few hours later and he's a happy camper again.

Ha! it's only a matter of time my friend!!!

At least it didn't give you any issues with feeding. My Cribo does the glass striking when it's hungry. I'm always afraid it will get hurt.

My everglades rat snake was doing the same thing today. Poor old man only gets feed every 2 weeks, and being a rat snake, well, you know...

Yellow tail cribo is on my list of snakes to get. Absolutely beautiful.

Nice! I'm pretty jealous Ziggy :)

Nigel was snapping at the glass again last night but he's really chill once I get him out of his enclosure. I had to do some spot cleaning today so I snapped some quick pics.

He looks great Ziggy, nice addition for sure.

Ziggy, I know you said you weren't picking for pretty, but that snake is very pretty. He should be gorgeous when he's an adult.

Thats a beautiful snake Ziggy, the colour is gorgeous

[EL Ziggy]

Thanks all. I love how smooth, sleek, and iridescent his scales are. Somedays he's got a deep olive green color and other days he looks more brownish. It's cool working with a new species too. He acts a lot like my carpets but a bit more active. My carpets tend to perch mostly in one spot. The olive moves from spot to spot more often.

Looking good Ziggy. I look forward to seeing him grow. He is full of simplistic beauty.

Pics like this are not helping with my little jealous streak ;), he really is beautiful Ziggy
