That's Sneak? Awesome! You're getting some new ones right? I think it was you - when do you get them?

OK, someone just had to make the 100th post, didn't they?
Yep, Kathy, that's my Sneak! I would like to get another corn or maybe a hognose, but for now I'm going to wait... at least until winter is over!

Showin' off my beautiful girl again...
So... when this picture was taken, she had eaten exactly 48 hours earlier. Discernible lump? I think I can maybe still see a bit of one... She's between 13 and 14 grams and eating her 3g pinkies. I'm amazed how fast they digest such a large food item relative to their bodies!
Also, I think her anery yellow is coming in on her neck. Loverly!

Thanks guys! She continues to do well. Will have to post more pictures soon, as she has shed since the last ones I posted. Also, she's right on the border between single and double pinks (she's just about 16 grams) so I'm getting nervous for that! I know she can handle it, but I'm still the nervous new mom! Her next big milestone has arrived...
I look forward to seeing more pics of Raj, too! It will be cool to see how they both change and diverge/stay the same in appearance.

Hi Everyone,
Finally on vacation, so happy for that! If I didn't get some time off my head was going to explode :blowup: My little buddy Raj is doing great, growing and curious as ever. His second shed went well, this time it was a full shed which was awesome. He is currently 16.5 inches long and weighs in at 12.4g. His color is turning more of a rich brown color with a contrasting grayish white, and his entire belly is a shinny pearly white.
Tomorrow night I might try feeding him 2 pinkies for the first time. I know it might be a little early but I think he can handle it. A special Xmas meal, ...you know!
Merry Christmas from Raj and Family!

JennaJ - You take the nicest pics of Sneak!
Thanks! I love yours too, especially these Christmas-themed ones. So great! Glad to hear he is doing well! They've got a lot in common, sounds like Raj and Sneak are still long-lost siblings
Sneak has passed 15 grams, but I haven't worked up the courage to give her two pinkies yet! I've got some rather large pinkies (over 4 grams!) that I figure she can eat through first :eatpointe
I finally fed Raj 2 pinkies in one feeding yesterday and he ate it with no hesitation! He acted normally and seems calm today. We'll see...
On a different topic:
I have only ever used paper towel as a substrate vs other options (barks, etc) because it is very easy to maintain the terarium clean and Raj does not seem to have any problem with it.
Anyone have any comments?
I like my current substrate choice and he has plenty of hides, but I worry about Raj's need to burrow as he is getting older. Thank u my peeps!

I just gave Sneak her first two pinkies the other night (2 days ago) she's been hiding, but I also think that has something to do with her being about to shed in a few days (she wasn't in blue when I fed her, don't worry)
I use aspen, just because it seems to be the substrate of choice for most corn keepers. I was using Reptibark, but I thought it was making her sneeze. Turns out, I think, that she was just sneezing a few times leading up to shedding. But, the aspen is nice. You can't feed them on it, but I've worked out a system where I have her on a large tray within her tank for feeding. When she finishes eating, she just finds her way off the tray.
