Nah I'll just bring him in super late at night when no one's around, and I'll use the produce scales. They're right out in the open.

i have big scales at my work for weighing random food stuff. i've had the thought "man i wish i had one of those to weigh my snakes" lol

Update! Ought to be about time for another shed; he's gone through another bit of a growth spurt...pushing 2 feet now, at roughly 23.4 inches! More yellow on his neck every time I pull him out of the viv...I really can't wait for him to get full grown, because I have a feeling he's gonna be STUNNING.

Cant wait! How old is he again?

Freebody · 07-10-11, 10:49 AM

oh wow i really like the colors!

blindfireak40 · 07-10-11, 01:11 PM

Not sure on age, he's a PetSmart acquisition...my guess would be roughly yearling? Or so? He's still growing really quickly.

And I feel even more lucky on his colors, knowing that I got him from a pet store...they had him listed as Anery, but he's a Ghost, and he's got such great yellows and Peachy tones coming in on his throat and neck! And a BRIGHT yellow nose lol

The lady who sold him to me wanted to see him, so I took him in with me today and we weighed him on a digital scale. 40 grams on the dot! In a couple weeks, I think I'll throw him on double fuzzies to try to bulk him up for hoppers!

Deep in shed! I'm going on a vacation, I'll have nice fresh skin pic's up once I'm back!!

Okay, I have an update, and an apology!

I just realized that in the hustle and bustle of preparing to move away to school, I neglected to post any post-shed pictures of Vermicelli! I'm sorry everyone!

Now, for the update: He's growing growing growing, I've got him on double fuzzies right now and as soon as I can find a supply of hopper mice he'll be on those. He's 2 feet and a few inches, and is safely moved into my apartment in a nice rubbermaid tub. He's about to enter shed again, so he's on a roughly 2 month shed schedule still. Still growing like a WEED

Post-shed pictures will come this time, I promise you

Can't wait!!! He's a beautiful little guy!!

blindfireak40 · 09-29-11, 12:12 PM

Here ya go!! Sorry for the poor quality, I didn't have access to anything nicer than my cell phone camera. I realized that petsmart's "Small Mice" are actually roughly the size of hoppers, so I picked some up, and he'll be starting on those next feeding. His growth picked up noticeably at the changeover to fuzzies; I can't wait for him to take off on these!

My little corn is growing pretty fast, but I can't wait to see his colors after the next shed. When I got him he was jet black, two sheds later he was browning out like most anerys. next shed I think he'll be totally brown.

Snakefood · 09-29-11, 12:37 PM

as always, he's GORGEOUS!

blindfireak40 · 10-02-11, 06:52 PM

Just had his first "Small Mouse" today; I've a feeling that he won't be on those long either! I don't know how I've managed it, but he has a great feeding response, complete with strike and coil. I think that really helps him get it down a lot. Maybe next week I'll have feeding pictures up for everyone!

Snakefood · 10-02-11, 07:37 PM

that would be good! Ananta has great eating responses too, she will spend forever "killing" her prey, she strikes so fast, you would think that I HAD actually put something live in there!
