Well I was up early this morning to go and get my new Blood python from Kevin Harris in Calgary this morning. DH paid for it as my moms day present. On the way home though I stopped for mice and to get some frozen rats to try to feed to my 3 larger BP's.

I took Recoil out and she appears to be in shed, pinkish belly and her eyes although not blue look clouded. She just finished though getting all her previous shed off but since I only got her last tuesday I dont' know when that shed actually started. Anyway she struck and coiled the rat but wouldn't eat it. I then went to get Whiplash out to see if she would eat it. DH mentioned he had noticed a mark on her back that I should look at. I looked and there were was a scar on her back that I had not noticed before, again since I had just taken them in on tuesday I hadn't looked them over too well just assumed I must have missed it. :D Whiplash wasn't real interested in the rat when I held it out but she took it after I laid it down in there and DH was watching them so I left the living room for a moment to get the stuff to clean out their cages. When I came back Whiplash was in her cage and I asked DH if he had put her back cause she was done, he said no but I assumed that he was joking. Went to get Ulysses who turned out to be shedding as well and when I opened the feeding cage that I had put whiplash in there she was :eek: I'm sure the look on my face was priceless as I'm holding Ulysses and looking from the feeding container to Whiplash' home trying to figure out where this BP came from. It was my moms day surprise!! :jawdrop: So now I have three to sex and a total of 7 BP's and 2 Bloods in the house. One blood though is my brothers. Whiplash did end up eating a FT small rat and so did my Moms day baby!! 2 down and 5 to go!! LOL.
