Good, I thought so but figured its always good to check from time to time. And I was just giving you a hard time man, no worries.

Re: My wife's first snake, Sidney
I realized I never did post Sidney's story as I just found out a week or so ago. Becky knew and swears she told me but I don't remember. Must have been a hockey game on at the time. LOL
Anyway, Sidney had sat at the local pet store for a while with a bad shed and refused to eat. They tried live, mice, rats, everything to no avail. My friend Shannon happened to be there after one of the failed feedings and they wound up giving Sid to Shannon because they didn't want to sell him to an unsuspecting beginner since he was having problems.
Anyway, Shannon got him set up and struggled to get him eating. I don't think she ever got as far as assist feeding, but everything else. For the longest time he would only eat mice pinks even though he was too big for them he didn't like anything with hair. Fast forward a few months to when we started going over and my wife wound up getting him to eat a few times and then the first time he took a rat pup was from Becky too. That's how she got attached and how we wound up bringing the little guy home.
I have to say now that he's a voracious eater aiming to make up for lost time. I fed him the rat pup I defrosted for my JCP (who refused...again) last night and when I went back to check on him he was in the ambush position with his head out of his cool-side hide. So I defrosted a rat fuzzy and tried that with him. He hesitated for about 3 seconds but went after it and ate it nicely. After that he crawled into the warm side hide and we haven't seen him since.

Re: My wife's first snake, Sidney
For a guy who wouldn't eat Sid seems bound and determined to make up for lost time. This is how he greets me every time I open his tub now. Actually by the time I got the camera on he'd retreated a bit as he realized it wasn't feeding time (just ate two days ago BTW). Talk about a strong feeder...
Note how he crapped on his house. I'd just cleaned that up (a bit) and he still thought it was feeding time.

You should have seen the present one of my dumerils had for me when I got off work. Fresh shed covered in poo...and she was laying on top of it  I have no idea why. She has plenty of room elsewhere to lay. Guess all the work of shedding and poo'ing left her pooped and she didn't want to move!

Re: My wife's first snake, Sidney
My BP has a movement around every 3 or 4 feeds - it does look like a great dane has broken into his viv and taken a dump sometimes
