It was subtle. I cant directly talk about selling pics for money on this forum because of the young eyes. The ssnakess chatroom is crazy and there is nothing subtle about it :P

Update on Miss Cranky pants snake, Orchid. She ate 3 large rats for me on Tuesday. She's been moved into a Vision 422 cage so that I can use an external lamp and she can't knock it down like she did the heat panel in the Boamaster.
She's been calming down a lot- went a whole week without striking at the glass once. But then this morning she was lying in an odd, knotted-up position and I got concerned so I cracked the door and tapped her with the hook. It threw her into a rage and she started striking the glass again. *sigh*
My beautiful, moody diva....whatever will I do with her?

Make babies and love her for her unique personality.

its just snake PMS lol

stephanbakir · 07-28-11, 09:41 AM

Lol, I tried quite hard to avoid that statement :P

Will0W783 · 07-29-11, 07:08 AM

I am wondering about the female side of it actually. The guy at one point had said she "hooked up" with his male. She's way too small to be healthily bred (9.5 feet and 22 pounds), but could it be possible she's pregnant and that is contributing to her anger at the world?

I'm going to bring her out for a friendly handling session again tonight. Hopefully it will go as well as the last one. She was fine last night until she got the medicine and then she got really angry and was striking the tote she was soaking in over and over. It shook from the force of her attacks.

stephanbakir · 07-29-11, 08:14 AM

It's possible, it would be risky but is it possible to palpate her?
Just give her some alone time for a while.
What male did she hook up with.

Jenn_06 · 07-29-11, 08:26 AM

if she did hook up with a male i would ask the other owner when it was and might go to the vet to see if they can get a xray and see if you can see any eggs.

stephanbakir · 07-29-11, 08:30 AM

By now, the eggs should be visible for sure.

Will0W783 · 07-29-11, 09:49 AM

I've only had her for a week and a half. The previous owner had mentioned about a week before I got her that he might keep her because his male (purple albino, 12-13 feet long) had locked up with her. I have no idea if this is true, or if it happened once, twice...whatever. The guy seems to have no recollection of things he's said once he's said them. I think he's a whack-job to be honest. He told me she was 7 years old...there's no friggin' way a 7 year old female retic would only be 9.5 feet. So I have no idea what, if anything, to believe from him. He also said she was friendly outside of the cage but could be touchy inside the cage. "Touchy" is the understatement of the year...lmao! I was concerned for her well-being, so when I was offered her again, I opted to take her away from the guy, who either was lying to get me to take her, or didn't know what he was doing and was breeding her way too soon.

stephanbakir · 07-29-11, 09:51 AM

If shes 7 years old is there a chance shes a dwarf... Even then shes the smallest 7 year old dwarf female on the planet...

Give her some alone time and just wait... Cant hurt. Does her viv have a divider?

Will0W783 · 07-29-11, 09:53 AM

Oh, also she ate 3 large rats on Tuesday. She's quite thin for a snake of almost 10 feet...she's only 22 pounds empty. I'm just wondering if she could be more aggressive because she had been breeding? Most likely she's just a hateful snake and will always be. But I can hope and continue to work with her and see how we progress. If she becomes more aggressive than she is now....i.e. bitey outside of the cage....I cannot keep her. I really don't relish the thought of a violent 18-foot snake. It's rather frustrating and I feel cheated by the tool I got her from.
