I've thought the same thing with Snickers. She looks funny trying to move to her hide (if she had legs i'd say she was waddling). She reminds of a woman that is due any day now.quote:

Well Steve was fed again last night, before we fed him though i weighed him, he weighs in at 14g now so well pleased.
He took 2 x 2g pinkies, the second one my son was trying to feed him it, he is struggling a bit and getting quite upset cause he is finding it hard to hold on to the pinkie for so long bless him, anyway he ended up dropping it into the rub and as he went to try and lift it back up Steve struck at the tweezers, my son cr@pped himself. LOL, shouldn't laugh really but it was cute to see Steve defending his prey!! Told him to back of and leave it in the rub for Steve to get himself. Which he did and once again ate the second pinkie quicker than the first, is there a reason why they do this? the first one seems to take ages to go down but the second one gets swallowed so much easier. |

| yep just thought you would like to know xena just had two pinks. Gobbled the second down in half the time of the first and then would you believe it was looking for a third. |

| I know. This has been a real uphill struggle. Me and my mate struggled for days keeping her alive and it has all come worth it in the end. Now she is bright and sparky and is a snake dustbin. I simply cant wait till she is Colins size she will be a stunner. A result and a large part of it has to do with advice filtered down from you lot. |

Think this is because with the first pinkie/mouse (whatever size it is) they have to adjust the size of their jaw/mouth to the size of their prey....whereas with the second 'meal' everything is adjusted to the size already and must go down easier having had the way prepared for them!!
