Weighed the big corns on Friday 25th before I started coolingthem for winter Brumation  Here's the fatties!!!
Sakana at a great 676g(started at 800+ when I got her!!!)
Cereus still at a whopping 850g!!!
Excuse the battered faun they are weighed in, it's about 5 years old and has been used for everything from transporting Sakana/Cereus to breeding Betta splendens XD |

You've done a brilliant job with them Alishia  . It's scary to think that they'd been allowed to get to those weights and I know it's not easy to get the weight off once its on. Sakana must be much more healthy now than when you got her, which must go towards her having a successful breeding season next year.

I'm not sure about using chicks to lose weight Lee. Nutritionally they are close to large mice in fat content but contain more protein. I feed one of my snakes chicks and rats alternate weeks because he is thin and needs the extra protein.

Sunny had these too,she was 1.2k and over 5ft-now down to 985g.As she lost/got fitter/shed the scales have got better.
she's quite muscular now-I think some of her size was due to being gravid (from previous owners MBK) |

Haha! They are fed every 2 weeks on one large mouse simply to bring their weight down a little. Cereus was nearly 1kg when I got him and Sakana was 845g when I got her. So for them to have both gone down so much it's a big relief I'm hoping that it may help Sakana with breeding next year since she has lost quite a bit of weight. |
