Holy moly, Bob is going into shed again. I guess those rats I've been feeding him are some good eatin!

The last rat I fed him was p/k and a LOT messier than the frozen (they were out at the store). There was blood and poo EVERYWHERE, and it stunk sooooo bad!! Thank goodness I've been feeding him in a seperate tub. It was a little bigger than I would have liked (not too big, but too close for comfort), but he got it down. LOL, I was praying that he kept it down too! 2 days later, and no regurg (THANK GOD)...and he's gone blue. LOL

I think I'll weigh him next week, see how much he's grown.

My parents really liked him, and were asking about getting one for my sister (who doesn't really keep herps). I did my best to explain that when they're going good, they're easy as pie....but when something's off, they can be a real pain in the rear end!

Anyone have suggestions for a snake that isn't so prone to fasting, but is still good with handling, etc. I'm looking for something pretty easy and forgiving. Maybe a corn? I need info!

Antaresia childreni although lately they have been grouped in with Liasis.

Easy to handle, eat like pigs, and easy to take care of.


This is an adult childrens python.

Those are cool!

I gave in and weighed Bob....I can't belive it! He's gained 100g+ in a little over 3 weeks. He's gone from 276 outta the box to 397 just now! To be fair, he did just eat on Wednesday. I don't THINK I'm overfeeding him...he's been getting 1 small rat every 7 days. Opinions?

Yes Shanti its tough with them , especially if you go buying into the high end stuff...

Whether CB , Ch , or WC or whatever ...some jsut plain suck at eating , just how it is.

I have an 02 female here CB , produced by my friend down the road , thats still only 800 grams , if she eats once a month its good...
