She's FINALLY in shed, I just picked her up and she's gone blue. She was going to be fed tomorrow, her first 2 week feeding schedule since Oct, but I'm sure she won't mind waiting a bit. :P

I'm sure you're relieved!

If you don't mind me asking, what substrate is she on?

I am. She's been shedding pretty consistently since her second shed with me, which also took a long time, but not as long as this time. So it was odd for her to go so long without shedding. Especially after growing so much. :/

She's currently on EcoEarth.

So she's still very much blue, but I think I see some color popping underneath! I'm hoping this shed cycle will be one of the color enhancing sheds rather than the color de-enhancing ones. Sometimes she sheds and she gets more colorful, sometimes she sheds and she gets less colorful.

I want to buy her some RBI hides, since Crona could use them after she's done, but I'm not sure what size to get her. I also need to order some more XL/jumbo hides for the bigger snakes.

Nymeria has gotten an upgrade in her hides, I ordered a few medium hides from LLL last month and ditched the tiny cottage cheese containers she's had for like 1.5 years. lol They're very large on her, but she'll grow into them soon enough.

Her last weight was 422 grams, and she has visibly grown since the last photos I took of her in my hand. She's also starting to lose her "baby face."

She looks great BSG!

I took some photos of her in the sunlight filtered through the plastic over the windows (and with the sun at an angle so it wasn't shining full blast in the snake room), and these photos show her off a bit better. I'll be so glad when I can take her outside into the shade again, it should make her colors pop even more.

She's starting to make weaned rats look small, but she's got a long way to go yet before I'll feel comfortable putting her on smalls. I think she'll actually make it onto smalls by the time she turns 2, though. I didn't think she would at first, but she's truly growing on her weaned rats vs the jumbo mice. Yesterday's feeding was the first one on weaned rats that was spaced out by 3 weeks, the rest were 4 weeks. It would have been 2 weeks, but I was basically constantly asleep the entire week I was supposed to feed her. I think I've figured out a rhythm now, though.

I love it, too, it almost looks burned on.

Here's some photos, I took a couple snakes outside yesterday for photos since it was warm.

That's a little treehopper or whatever they're called on her head. I'm not sure if bugs are drawn to her or they just show up better on the light background. haha

bigsnakegirl785 · 04-04-17, 10:29 PM

Periscope! With that bug on her head. >.>

And some shade time. The longer she spent out the redder she got. And apparently there were aphids in the grass that when squished it looks like blood, that's what's on her head. I found that out because there were a bunch squashed on my toes. -.-

She ended up wrapping around one of the handrail posts, just to crawl right back off into my hand.

One of the benefits of owning a larger snake...you can give them a day of chaperoned freedom and maintain control. Sweet looking snake!

richardhind · 04-04-17, 11:07 PM

The natural sunlight really brings the orange and peach colours in her

Scubadiver59 · 04-05-17, 05:32 AM

Something just occurred to me while looking at your wonderful pics of the proverbial "snake in the grass"...you don't have any raptors in your area, do you?

If so, watch out!
