This shows what a brilliant job you're doing Sue . It's lovely hearing how well snakes are doing, especially those snakes who have had feeding issues to begin with. It gives hope to those who are in the same position as you were in with your lavender and anery stripe. Well done .
He he, must seem odd having Ozzie out then getting out Mouse! I'm glad we have female corns so don't have to worry about all the breeding fasting stuff. The male Hoggy is quite enough of a problem in the eating area thank you very much >( Sounds like Rio is coming on a treat, 4g soooo tiny! Glad Lexi and Mouse are behaving themselves feeding wise now as well. Look forward to some pics :D
i have never had a prob with my girls feeding at breeding time and god I hope it stays like that lol its just the boy that seam to say "sorry no time for food today to bizy ty " lol................ yep from mouse to ozzy is quite a giggle just really had to belive that one day she will be that sort of size and I look at ozzy then mouse and still cant belive that ozzy was that tiny lol ill get some pics up asap feeding tonight so could get some then xx
We went to the shop we bought Corno from the other week and they had some TEENY corns in - cannot believe Corno was once that size, she's approaching 450g now :O
