That's just my approach kazz. I don't have to remove hides because my snakes are out in the open pretty often, especially when they're hungry. I figure if the snake is hungry they'll be out looking for food. Closed mouths don't get fed at my place

. When was the last time your girl ate?

That snake is ~100cm, not big, but not that small either..

Completely off topic here, but TRD, can I ask what type of plants those are in the photo?

Yesterday and a week before though I was feeding her every 5 days. So 7 days didn't work for her to move her out for food.
Actually she was out when 8 days ago she ate and in 2 days she was out . Then 4 days she was in a hide.
