Lookin' good! ;)

How big is she now? She's looking healthy and beautiful. To be honest, I have no idea what color she'll be based on those pics. But she definitely looks great now.

:cool: Brian

Thanks! I havent gotten a meaurement on her yet, but I'd say 3.5 feet maybe (give or take... I'm horrible with estimating length...lol!)? She weighed in at 256 g when I weighed her the other day. Yeah I'm not sure where her colour is going...lol...guess I'll just have to wait out out :eek: I have no patience!!!

Great looking BRB Linds! You can never have enough of these guys. I still have my fingers crossed for another litter this summer. The female has recently gone of food and the male no longer shows any interest. Looks like more hold backs for me!

Thanks Jeff.

<center>It took me forever to getting around to it but I finally made it over. I've got to hand it to you, looks great! I especially like the <b><i>Epicrates</i></b> addition.

I'll be around. I'm one of those guys that spend too much time online. :0)

Thanks everyone!

Jeff F: Yeah I absolutely love carefresh for these guys. Once they get a bit bigger I will probably change to newpaper for ease of maintainance (the place around me has trouble staying in stock as well), but this stuff works great. Its alot healthier than newspaper (no chemicals, inks, etc), is environmentally friendly, and holds humidity very well.....and they absolutely love to burrow in it which eliminates the need for hides. Downfall they usually kick a fair bit into their water dishes and you cant feed on it... but that's the only downside to the stuff.

Darren: Yeah I forsee a bit of a problem when mine are old enough to breed... I won't be able to get rid of the babies...lol! Welcome to ssnakess.com :D

What about mold with carefresh?

have been using it for a few months now with no problems, as long as you give it a little stir, dont *wet* it, and change it every 6 days or as needed, and give the cage a good cleaning periodically, then there shouldnt be any mold forming. a also stir the substrate around and fluff it up once a day (unless they have eaten recently).

Every 6 DAYS?!! But what if you have 30 snakes? That's a lot of work!! :-)

Thanks for the kind welcome Linds. :0)

When I first purchased my <i>E.subflavus</i> I thought they would make a great breeding project but later I changed my mind. There are few Canadians that appreciate this ssp. and therefore I would have to export the offspring. That isn't all that hard in the long run but I think I'm just happy enough to be able to work with them.

Thanks,
