Here's an update on Woody and Mirkey, both were SSPCA re-homers.
Woody is still a bit nervous but soon settles when handled. This was him settling down to dinner. Can anyone suggest whether he is a Miami, Carolina or whatever. It's not particularly important, I'm just curious. He's very similar to Taggart but has a richer, deep browny red to the saddles.
There was another topic on feeding with tweezers or not, and I just happened to take a movie of Taggart feeding today.
I'm a hand feeder as I’m more concerned that he might injure himself on the tweezers so am willing to take the chance of a tag. OK, I got a minor slap tag today because I had just handled a mouse before moving him into the restaurant. He can be a hard striker but sometimes needs a little jiggling enticement. A bit of a tug on the mouse tail also encourages him to constrict.
He had just had a clean shed but had been refusing food for several weeks and I was keen to get him to take today. As you can see, it worked eventually.
Mirkey the Mauler is turning into a *****cat. This is him modelling the latest fashion in tasteful watch straps. 
Woody looking for the menu:
At the third rattle, it will be ... precisely:
Take aim, lock on, wait for it & wham-bam-thankyou ma'am:
Hope you like.

Admins, the movie isn't showing. Obviously the .mov format is not supported or is it media tags?
Aha! If you Control+click on the link icon, you can select View and see the movie.
Maybe change ••••• to puddy-tat. :-) |

Thanks guys and gals, glad you like them as much as I do.  I'll go with the flow and agree on Miami. The variations in colour in some of the guide pictures seem to cross over between the Normals. I'm still a novice on the genetics, crosses and general variations within groups.
Is Control+Click on the link to the movie icon working OK for you all?
Taggart does a fine Eightsome Reel, doesn't he. I play my old Jimmy Shand records at full blast to create a bit of ambience for him at mealtimes but it drives the neighbours nuts!! 
Please, someone beat me to this little hatchling charmer, Cora.

I don't have space at the moment but am considering hanging vivs from the ceiling. Seems a waste of estate to have just a single light dangling from it. 
They (SSPCA) also have Boomer the Bull Snake but will only consider a very experienced handler due to it being a bit of a beast with a temper.
@ Thistle, you spotted the connection. I was hatched and dragged up in the 'Sooside' just behind the Citizens but now live in Sunny Johnstone. |
