Re: New Sunglow poss het anery girl

I've got poop hoarders too, doesn't really seem to matter how/when/what i feed them. They just prefer to hoard it all in to leave extra big surprises. She's looking great! getting a nice size too.

She's nearly a year anyways, so it's about time to move her to bi-weekly.

She's one of only two snakes I've got that hoards her poop, and the only one who's gone more than 3 months without shedding. The other one being my ball python Bud, who poops about as often but takes slightly smaller poops relative to size than her.

Cloud has always pooped within a week of eating when he was younger, and poops 2 weeks after each meal now as an adult. :/

Thanks! She's still a bit small, but as of the last time I measured her, she's only 3" short of where Cloud was after I had him a year. She's also a bit girthier than he was then and doesn't look so lanky. Assuming he was 1-2 months when I got him, she's still got 2-4 months to catch up to him. She seems to be about the same size as a ghost female I'm currently paying on, who's just a week or two younger than her, so she's not behind in growth.







I had her in the bucket so I could dampen her bedding, but she really hates the bucket, and started zig-zagging and climbing the walls immediately after I put her in it. Since she behaved, I allowed her to sit on top of it, though. She just sat there nice and calm until I was done. It did still have some water left in the bottom from wetting River and Bud's bedding, so that may have made her uncomfortable, too.

Re: New Sunglow poss het anery girl

Well I went ahead and tried her on a jumbo mouse since the small adults aren't leaving much of a bulge anymore. The bulge is a little bigger than I'm comfortable with, but it's not so big I think it will hurt her if I just stagger a small adult mouse in every other feeding. Once she's on just jumbos, I'll be ordering some weaned rats, since they're slightly bigger in overall size but are a close equivalent.

Wrapping the mouse:







The bulge right after she finished eating:







On my hand from earlier in the morning:



She also appears to be going into shed again judging off the feeding pictures, but I've had a lot of false positives in the past, so I decided while it's uncertain that she's shedding regularly I'll just go ahead and feed her unless she's in blue. If she is going into shed, then I'm glad she's back on track!

Re: New Sunglow poss het anery girl

Well, Nymeria is finally confirmed for a shed cycle!





These were taken a few days ago, so she may be in blue now.

They don't get any bigger than any other boa constrictor, morph doesn't determine size. I didn't ask about her parents' size since I'm not too worried about that, but I expect her to be at least 6'-7', maybe 8'. I don't consider that range to be overly-large, an 8' boa would be a decently large size, but 6'-7' isn't too bad at all.

Re: New Sunglow poss het anery girl

Nymeria shed the other day, and she's starting to show some coralling! She was not sold to me as a coral line animal, but from what I've seen non-line sunglows will get that coral pattern from time to time as well. Comparing with some older photos, her colors are a lot brighter, too. Hopefully she'll be a nice bright adult!

Her measurements came out to 30" and 233 grams. I didn't see any poop, so she's probably right around 200-210 grams empty.

Here she is from earlier in the week, before shedding.



And her post-shed pics.

Re: New Sunglow poss het anery girl

I managed to get a "few" outdoor pics, some of these are from 2 different days.

Also, I was right about her weight! She pooped and weighed in at 209 grams.













All the ones after this point are from a different day from the pics above.

Re: New Sunglow poss het anery girl

Last bit of my picture spam, I swear!



She was a lot easier to work with outside this time. Usually, once I put her on the ground and try to pick her up, she starts flopping around like a fish out of water (I have a video somewhere....). But this time, she was quite calm whenever I picked her back up. Still sorta tried to crawl out of my hands, but no more flopping or desperately trying to crawl away. She even sat on my hand, surveying the scene around her for several minutes. haha

Sunglows are pretty common and popular, you should be able to find a few. I've gotten my retic and Nymeria here from reptile expos.
