Woo Charlies on his first fuzzy this evening. I was shocked I should of moved him onto them long ago I thought they would be much larger than that (im not sure how big I thought a mouse actually was pmsl) but he struk and wrapped a coil round... before realising he wasn't going to get it in his mouth from the angle he had so let go and went the girly way in and reapproached lol. I did think for a moment he wasn't going to manage it as Im used to him swallowing his smaller food down in less than 60seconds but it went in and he is now hiding... Where I expect he will stay for a couple of days now :)

Matilda I gave 2 pinkies to so fingers x she keeps them down she is a lot smaller in comparrison and I was wondering should I or shouldnt I give her two but then she is always out on the scav for food it seems.... 2 pinkies in and she is still out so wonder if she is just nosey by nature lol.

I saw some, a small fuzzie isnt really different from a large pinkie. I noticed that when I went to pick up some pinkies for Lacey. Also in the shop, they had the frozen mice in a large freezer with a glass door, looking out onto the live pet mice, really tickled me!! :P I feel so heartless feeding them to Lacey but I love her more than I could love any mouse!! :P

Im so glad you finally built up the courage, it must be a little bit scary. I gave Lacey the smallest pinkie I could find, and it was heading to her tummy before I knew it, Im dreading having to give her anything any bigger, she is such a tiny little thing. Its good to know it went down well though!!

Yeah the pet shop where I get my mice from the freezer is right next to the live mice and rats etc. I made a joke about it to the guy behind the counter, he didnt seem to get what I was on about and started talking about people trying to buy live mice to feed to their snakes.

Lol. I was more concerned the bigger these little mice are getting Its too in my face wether im feeding a boy or girl mouse lol!
I've been following your journey into getting little lacey (lovely name btw). Sounds like probably the most spoilt snake around lol!
I knew the last lot we had were between being both but then Ive been feeding Charlie 2 of the inbetweeners so when I came to get the fuzzy I was like shocked! he has easily been eating more than that in context of 2 inbetweeners so I doubt it will be 2 long before he is onto two but Im in no rush!! (they get more expensive lol!)

She certainly will be spoilt!! She is my little princess and I absolutely ADORE her. She will get spoiled just as much as my little pooch, hes spolied rotten and gets what he wants when he wants. I guess its not so easy to spoil a snake though!! :P
