Re: Slithersaurus's Colubrids
It still sounds like an unpleasant experience anyway. :P
Anyway, Here is Big Mama eating F/T gecko and mouse.

Re: Slithersaurus's Colubrids
Wow it actually takes FT? Why give a gecko at all if she will take mice? from what Ive heard getting them on FT mice is quite an accomplishment. Thats great!

Re: Slithersaurus's Colubrids
Well, I caught and froze some geckoes long time ago when I first got her. I used them to scent the mouse and also fed them to her to encourage her to eat before following right with the mouse. Now that she could take mouse on her own, there was still some geckoes left, so I had to feed them together with the mouse in the recent feeding so the lizards wouldn't be waste.
And yeah, I was really surprized that she could take F/T mouse really fast... Probably a normal habit of large female OFS that will also hunt small mammals in the wild?

Re: Slithersaurus's Colubrids
Enigma the black rat snake has recently rufused to eat.... It has been 2 weeks already and he refused everything I offered him. He is not in shed too and never be like this before.  I am kinda worried about him now, eventhough the off-feeding duration hasn't been that critical yet.

Re: Slithersaurus's Colubrids
So, here is Big Mama's terrarium after I fixed things into the place and cleaned everything up. It's kinda small. But the snake doesn't seem to be stressed out and can still eat normally, so space isn't a big issue here.
All the plants there are fake(except the brown vine) and the background is custom. Substrate is shaved aspen and Big Mama uses the fake fern as her cover when she wants more privacy and there is also for her to sit on at the background as well.

Re: Slithersaurus's Colubrids
I think Dan at DM Exotics has had a lot of luck with the Paradise flying snakes, saw a video where he had hatched and raised young.

Re: Slithersaurus's Colubrids
Good luck for that! Some CB flying snakes would be cool indeed, given the fact that they are almost impossible to find here. I guess the husbandary understanding of these snakes of people here is just really barren, despite being the native range of the snakes.

Re: Slithersaurus's Colubrids
So, I just took Enigma out to explore a bit. I am trying not to bother him much lately, due to him being very inactive at feeding, in fact, he is now eating like once every two weeks which I don't feel like it's the normal schedule for such young snake. However, sometime I just want to take him out for handling or he could get back to be aggressive again if I stop handling him for too long.
I want to take some pics of little Rudy so badly, but he is being very squrimy lately and I can't leave him to stay in my one hand... So, gotta wait for him to be more used to handling....

Re: Slithersaurus's Colubrids
Enigma finally ate something today! He got a big fuzzy right from the forceps. I am really happy!

Re: Slithersaurus's Colubrids
Thanks, Sylphie. It's always a delight when snake finally eat after a long time.
Anyway, today I decide to risk handling the flying snake!
Big Mama did a good cooperation, only struck at me a few times today and drew no blood!
