Thumbs up Finally got it right

Hello Everyone,
It seems that I finally got it right for my little girl: Eryx is eating again and just had a complete shed. She's up to eating a good sized f/t fuzzy scented with salmon each week and, last week when it looked as if she was going into shed, I put a humid hide into her enclosure which she spent a night in and, voila, no more retained shed anywhere on her body!! I want to thank you all for your encouragement and patience--it helped to calm me and helped me to wait things out without stressing my little one. You are a great group of people!

Re: Finally got it right

Thanks, Shmoges! I think she is pretty, too. My hubby likes the fact that she's a burrower rather than a climber so he doesn't have to see her too often, but I love her. I'm just glad that he okayed her as a gift for me from my kids and that he is prepared to pay any vet bills I may incur in the future (which, of course, I hope there are none of)!

Re: Finally got it right

When she is all stretched out she tops almost 18 inches!!! I have no real idea how old she is, but she is definitely growing lots now that she is eating again!
