:) she has had 3 different houses already lol. finally got a good one! (after i said i wouldnt use a wooden cage for her, that is what is working the best for her)

and yea, she is amazing, i just wish i could capture her color a little better, we will be having good weather here so maybe some outside pics are due!!!

here are a few updates. she has only ate the one time for me... with the building of the room, and moving them around, and all that, i didnt want to feed them till they are all settled down in the new room... she shed for me last week, and it came out in a perfect piece (i tore it trying to stretch it out) she really doesnt nip any more, except for when she wants to go back in the cage. she will get really "figity" or flighty and she will nip. but i dont put her in though i will wait 2 min. after the nip and put her in...


here are a few pics of her in the cage and some of her crawling around. and before any one says THE FLEXWAT IS NOT IN THE CAGE, IT IS COVERED BY PLEXIGLASS, LOOK AT MY CAGE BUILD THREAD TO SEE DETAILS****

More great picts, Dereck! Did she try and break for under that wooden furniture? ;-) Glad to hear she's doing well.

lol yes she did Cliff-

and when i got her out from under there (she didnt come out willingly) she wasnt happy, and i have a nice little bit on my arm to prove it lol.

I can handle her for about 4-6 min. just fine, then she starts getting flighty and nippy(ish) but i wont put her back in until 2-3 min. AFTER a nip.. hope this is okay, and not causing stress, but i want her to be puppy dog tame:)

I'd drop the nip step. Usually, a snake will tell you she is uncomfortable by trying to escape or get wriggly (flighty in her case); if so, don't make her nip but put her down. You want her to trust you, not think she has to bite every time she's handled. The time will increase with positive (non-biting) experience -- just be slow and patient with her. If she does bite, however, you are correct to hold onto her for a bit longer.

Oh, okay, thanks for the advice. she gets better everytime i get her out... i usually do every few days or so now, i try every other day. like i said just for a few min. at a time.

You know someone else asked if i remembered who i got my Sunglow from as well and i don't remember that one either. Maybe I should have asked for a card or something. Regardless im happy with the final 2 snakes of my collection.

while i only have my juvi male right now , i had never handled an adult BRB till yesterday . I was able to handle a female 2005 , and she was about 6.5 feet and so docile and a pleasure to handle . they really do stay thin bodied and slow moving and pretty strong .

Very nice! Have you named him/her yet?

And it's always a good idea to try and grab a card, just in case of future questions.

My wife named mine Ursula... she named my last BRB Kerrella.. ( she names them "evil" disney movie names because we got in a small fight for each of them ) and she thinks they are mean looking?)

mean looking... b....b...but they're all so adorable D: I love the look of boas / pythons. The shape of their noses / heads is adorable!

Although Corn snakes beat out in the humor factor. I watched my brother's cornsnake eat a f/t large mouse the other week.... She looked like she had a wide grin on her face the entire time and i couldn't stop laughing.
