Hi Steve, sorry i have only just found this.
I'm so glad xena is coming on really well and looking great, i love the spanner marking on her head, it is so cute.
Sorry to hear wotsit hasn't been well but glad he is on the mend, you obviously have the healing touch.
Steve is going onto fluffs on Saturday, can't believe where the time has gone, he has just shed for the 3rd time now and weighed in at 24g last Sunday, I have tried to measure him and at the last time he measured about 19 inches, not sure what he is now although i compared his first shed with the last one and it was double the thickness!!
Totally agree about the club. lol

Funny that Dawn I got a fluff delivered last night to see how big one looks and i dont think it will be long before xena is on them. The pinky she had last week wasnt far off.
The good news is Wotsit continues to get better every day and is now almost back to his normal self. Already the words.."Wotsit doing now?" are already resounding in the household lol as he is back to his naughty self. Now all I gotta do is get colin to eat something and normality will prevail. Xena and colin are both due a feed tonight but judging by colins activity levels i will be putting another mouse in the bin tomorrow.
Editted to add: Dawn the best way to measure a snake is measure the shedded skin and deduct 10% for actual snake length.

Just read your other post so glad Colin has fed, that must be a great weight of your mind!!
Loving the name wotsit it makes me smile, can imagine you out on the street calling him..lol
Steve shed in 3 pieces this last time so it was hard to try and get a proper measurement, will try and measure the 3 pieces and see what it gives me, thanks for that Steve.

| Thanks, you'd never believe she is a year old in a couple of weeks would you. Just shows what non eating can do when they are little. Ah well she will catch up when she is ready. |

I doubt that dawn your steve is a fair bit bigger.
Dunno if you know her story but she was basically labelled a problem feeder by an unscrupulous shop and left in a tub in a corner of the shop to die. She was nine months old when a mate of mine was given her by the shop basically to get rid. He force fed her a couple of times and kick started her feeding before he handed her over to me. Those two force feeds were the first time she had eaten her whole life. As a result she is really underdeveloped but now she has the right enviroment and is basically left alone (apart from being handled a few times a week) she has come on leaps and bounds. She is a lot more confident now she has her own space and feels secure so I must be doing something right but i fear she may end up stunted by her start in life. Dont matter to me how big she gets her personality far exceeds her modest proportions lol |

| Thanks but to be fair I aint done much. I think all she needed was her own home where she wasnt going to be messed with too often. Seems to have done the trick. |
