Nigel is doing well. He is now eating two rat fuzzies at each feed and now weighs 157g a gain of 35g since we bought him and he has successfully shed with us. He is a real softy but very nosey 
Steve is very placid. I was always led to believe that hoggies are bit grumpy. Steve is just so laid back. He is now eating double pinkies every 3 days and we will be trying him with his first mouse fluff on saturday, fingers crossed for that.
I have a feeling that there may be more royals and hoggies to come lol  |

| Hero has grumpy days and laid back days, I would have thought double pinkies ever 3 days would be classed as power feeding? That's a lot of food in a short frame, I know from hero that he would love to eat every 3 days, but I do every 4 and every 3rd feed I do 5 days. But they do differ from corns. And weight gain in a snake that may decide to stop eating for months in good x |

We are feeding double pinkies because when he arrived he was just having one pinky but by his girth I feel he should be on mice fluffs. The pinkies I have are quite small and two together only make 3-4g lol. They are tiny. I know that hoggies have alot quicker matabolism than corns and most people I know with hoggies feed twice a week, even adults getting a mouse twice a week. Its not my intention to power feed as I totally disagree with it, I simply want to move him onto fluffs. His feeding will then be dropped to every 4 days. Hopefully moving him on to fluffs will also help him gain some weight, 17gramms at 6 months is a little small I feel.
This probably sounds silly, I am hoping that he will have the occasional off day and get a bit grumpy as this is what I was kind of expecting and it is bit of let down if I am honest  |

| He is now 9 months old, and weighs 27g and has grown loads, he is a right chuck, I will post pics later :) he has fluffs every 4 days and every 3rd feed he goes 5 days. He would eat 2 if I gave him chance. When I first got him, he took 5 double pinky feed and fasted for 4 1/2 weeks so stayed back at 9g I then got him to feed scented with toad. He has eaten solidly only missing one whilst blue until the last 2 feeds, one for no reall reason and his last feed he was in blue which I hadn't realised, I was told they only shed a couple of times a year and he only shed on the 15th of may I thinks its due to him being on fluffs and actually eating regularly that he's shed, hed triple in weight since I got him :) |
