Hi everyone, as promised an update on Loki!.. Again? i suppose haha! I'm so glad he is doing so well right now, i'm no longer afraid he will stop eating if i bother him a bit so i felt confident enough to drag him outside! He shed 2 days ago, he seemed to like grass very much and i had to chase him around the damn yard, at some point he actually vanished, which was pretty impressive with his size.. (or just a sign i really need to mow my lawn, just wanted to take pictures in tall grass first haha) I forgot to charge my cameras battery, so i used my cellphone.. but i quite like how the pictures came out!!

Wow! He really is looking great as usual. If you ever breed him I need to know about it. Lol.

Wow, nice pattern! You probably need a scythe to fix the lawn

**Tsubaki** · 08-25-16, 12:09 PM

I might end up getting a pearl labyrinth female... once upon a time.. when i got more room

Thx Albert.

Pretty!

Dumb question alert...what makes him a labbie? My untrained eyes just see a really pretty normal wild type.

His pattern is nothing like a normal burmese python

Oh ha.. Ha!.. Yes it took me a couple of hours... xD

Anyway! Thanks! I am in love with him too, i think he's amazing!

He has surpassed the size my last labyrinth was when she passed, and au contraire to her he is doing so great! When he refused to eat i was so afraid he was headed in the same direction.. But i'm very happy now!

Here's a picture i found of my old lady, she had a lot more yellow.

He's so gorgeous! I can't wait until I have a more private lawn to take my big guys out. The neighbors tolerate them for now, but I don't think they'd tolerate them very much if I got bit, so River isn't allowed to leave my body. haha (She also moves so fast nowadays I'm scared she'd run off! If only a leash would fit on them.)

Since you've had problems with both your labs, do they just in general have problems, or did you just get some unlucky draws?

Thank you

! River sounds like Xena, i need 8 pairs of hands to keep her in check.. She is all over the place, and fast too! She might actually get the neighbours 'dog' if i'm not careful haha! (pretty sure it's just a loud mouthed rat pretending to be a dog) Also, apparently you can leash a snake.. But i don't think it's friendly to the animal?

The female had a neurological problem, wasn't pretty.. Not sure if it was inherited or a unique case to her as i didn't know any of her littermates. Loki just had some bad luck, he is a very shy eater.. He came in heavily infested with mites and took a while to recover from it, the treating him against mites did not help his eating habits. He started to get better, finally started eating (Still a bit irregularly)... Then he scratched his eye on something.. It got a bit irritated and had discharge on it, so i had to clean it and put some ointment from the vet on it.. It helped.. But again, he was too stressed out to eat for a while. Now he is eating like a champion though

Yeah I don't know, even if it didn't hurt them I feel like they could get out of it fairly easily. Or at least cause some damage to their scales if they tried to get loose.

Ah. I guess I didn't pick up on where his eye problem came from, at least he's doing better! With any luck he'll live a nice long life.

**Tsubaki** · 08-26-16, 02:05 AM

Thanks I hope the same, but as he's doing right now I see no reason for him not to stick around for a long time
