hello!
just an update on jake! had her nearly a month now, shes eating really well, 2 pinkies every 4 days at the mo. handling her once a week while cleaning her viv and shes been really good and getting braver! now shes getting bigger and eating more shes making a right mess :)

my brother came round today to meet her (cleaning and handling day) i went to get her out n noticed shes milky! :) didnt want to disturb her but really needed a clean! it took her a while to come to me but left my hand in with her untill she settled, i didnt do much handling jst put her in a plastic box (which she tryed to escape from!) while i cleaned her viv. again she was fine, really pleased with her!
its nearly feeding day but i might wait a little longer and offer her somthing then incase she gets hungry while milky!
no wonder i hadnt seen her out for a couple of days!! hope she sheds soon!!
