Introducing Ivrina

[Minkness]

I'm sure you all have already read how I got her. If not, check out the thread 'Oh...Emm...Gee...new snakes!'.

That said, here is my ivory female, Ivrina. She is supposedly 7 months old and only 70 grams. I was going to wait a week or two to try and feed her since yesterday had to have been stressfull with a new place, being treated for mites, and all that. However, tonight was feeding night for my others so figured I'd try and see if she took.

Boy did she take!!! Not one, but TWO mouse fuzzies! And when she was done, she was looking for more! I didn't give her a third though. Don't want to make her sick if she's been starved. But her appitite took me by surprise since my other BP took a month to eat and even now will knly take ONE mouse per feeding, then goes to his hide. Not Ivrina though! She took them with ease, ate them quickly, wanted more, and even decided to 'hang out' a bit until I closed her up and tucked her away.

I really hopw she keeps her laid back attitude. It would be wonderful to not have another jerk BP like Moko lol.

I figure either 2 mouse fuzzies twicea week or 1 rat pink twice a week will be a good growth rate feeding. Maybe switch it up and do 2 fuzzies one feeding then the pink the next and so on.

Also, checked her for mites. About half have already fallen off!!! I figure another soak in a few days and she'll be great on that in a few weeks. =)
