Not sure what you read gekosin. I waited a week after his last meal. I'm guessing you mean I should've waited 10 days after finding the smelly surprise?

Re: Finally Getting My First

Hi Viper Its never a good idea to feed snakes when you notice that they are about to shed. Often they will accept the food, but it makes it a tad harder for them to shed and could lead to some issues, like regurgitating. Have you handled it a lot since feeding it? Handling too soon after feeding wi...

Re: Finally Getting My First

Re: Finally Getting My First

Haha really good to see people LOVING their reptiles. You can say that again :lol: I took him out again last night, 48 hours after his last meal. His eyes are looking a little paler than usual so I took a pic to show it. I might be mistaken by my colourblindness :smt017 http://s7.postimg.org/cemhfj...

Re: Finally Getting My First

Update after week two: Pop has been really great this past week. He's been very calm when being handled and has been down right cute when he's out. He was a little skittish the first few times I picked him up but as soon as he's out of the cage he calms down, checks out his surroundings and starts e...

Re: Finally Getting My First

Lekker man, he looks good and healthy. Those Legos are really a good idea. I will keep that for future use. Thanks Westley. I was in a tight spot for cash so I decided that instead of buying a few bowls and chucking them away eventually I'll just use what I've got and then when Pop grows I can just...

Re: Finally Getting My First

I've been away for a week so I haven't been able to keep an eye on Pop. My girlfriend was so kind as to change the water every second day when she comes back from varsity. I got home Friday to find some poo in the corner and Pop looking at me as if I did it. Checked on him again last night while tha...

Re: Finally Getting My First

I just got the call from Panorama Pet Shop saying my transport permit has arrived :-D

I'll go get the little guy on Friday or Saturday so I have some time to set up his enclosure and get the temps running right. I'm so damn excited :smt005

Nah not yet. I haven't been in many trees lately, so I'm a bit rusty in the falling out of them department, but I'm sure I'll catch on quickly. ;)

Re: Finally Getting My First

I've got a safe spot for the tub under my desk. I've got quite a big desk and I only use half of it so he's going under the other half where I put my bag. But I tend to be one of those people, "I'm doing it, try and stop me" :lol:
