Showoff - My MBK (Sasha Fierce) is still trying to get away as fast as she can when I open her tank. Doesn't she realize by now that I'm not going to eat her?!

How long is Shasha Fierce? Is she in a 40g?

I'm just wondering if she might feel a little insecure with all that real estate. I started medusa out in a 10g. She's now in a 20g. Maybe some more hides? I even noticed that after a put my corn in the 40g that he tries to get away from me sometimes. It may also be that we are approaching them from above.

Yeah, well she better get used to all that real estate because daddy's not buying another tank : ) She's got (4) hides in there and I usually try to scoop her up from underneath. She's definitely getting more comfortable in her viv. She'll be out in the open basking frequently. She's just shy and not a fan of being handled even though she usually calms down after a few minutes. Unlike Caesar who isn't shy at all. I still love her though. I'm gonna put some pics up of her soon I promise. She shed on Monday and ate last night so it'll be a few days.

LOL! They all have different personalities! I think the next enclosures for augustus and medusa will probably be plastic with front access. Unless I find some good deals on 2 more 40g tanks lol. Yeah those pics would be nice! HEHE

Steve- Where are you getting your plastic enclosures from? Are they tanks or tubs? I saw some boaphile enclosures that were nice but they were also pretty expensive. I'm still planning on getting that custom built wooden enclosure for Caesar and Sasha next year and I'll move the new snakes into the tanks I have now.

I'm looking closely at Animal Plastics. I like the vision cages but very expensive as well. PM Sent.
