First feed

So tonight was my second attempt with my first feed with my new baby girl Nova. I weighed her before the feeding out of curiosity and to make sure the pinky was to size with what she should eat and she weighed a whopping 6 grams!!! HUGE RIGHT! Lol. She took about 6 minutes constricting the pinky and finally starting chowing down and got half way and then I realized the pinkys still alive, but she didn't care she went right along eating as if it wasn't and got it done successfully.


My only concern is since she's been in her new Viv she hasn't been in her hide. She seems to like the half log in the middle on the tank near her water, however her heat pad is under her hide. Should I be worried about her not realizing it's much warmer in there than anywhere else?


Now some rambling.

I know this is the corns forum however if you're interested here's a bit of info on how my balls doing.
He is 5 years old and names Sonjay. He likes to bite me at completely unexpected times. I weighed him before his meal and he is 832 grams and close to 4 foot in length. He's really boring to watch in his Viv because he's either sitting in his hide or sitting next to his hide never doing anything interesting. Lol.

Heres a pic of Nova and her dinner tonight


I apologize for the quality it was taken with my phone and it wouldn't focus for some reason.

I definitely wouldn't worry about her not being in her hide, some snakes love their viv and some love their privacy. I have one who is always out and active, and one I have to make sure is in the cave because she NEVER comes out! And the warm hides are used more than the cool side hides, they love being cozy.

She has found her "happy place" and if she does get hot, she knows which end to go to. And bonus, you get to see her all the time!
