Heh, axe I have the 'beaut of you dreams then.



One really ODD thing I have noticed, and I am sure it may be a fluke, is that she NEVER strikes when you are looking at her. She ALWAYS waits until you have your head turned. Not a basis for any assumptions of course, and likely unrelated to blood ambush behavior (given that I am a wee bit too large to eat) - but daymn if she isn't 100% consistent since coming out of her initial stupor from chill. At one point (not during the session which resulted in that pic) I turned my head to get the betadine swab and she launched at me and clear out onto the floor. I felt crushingly bad about that and at once amazed at the foot or so she had to clear to accomplish that. Muscular little hunny.

sure thing, just gotta get the time/money to get it devloped. Beautiful little girl you got there.

I've handled him a bit, so far he's all huffy puffy, no hiss, no strike. But he will puff up as big as possible, and I learned kinda the hard way that he DOES NOT like to be restrained (trying to look for the scales under his eyes) and he pulled back so hard I was afraid he would hurt himself. So I kind of have to let him do his thing and hope he held still (I ended up putting him back in the deli cup he came in, and he held perfectly still for me).

a few more days and it's feeding time again!
