Progression thread: Cleo the Butter Motley

Okay! I weighed him today ... drum roll please ... 15 g! So, I'm thinking of the next feeding maybe 2 small pinkies? He should be shedding soon, although I can't tell by his eyes so much. He looks really 'pale' and his last shed was Oct 18th. Not sure if by the next feeding he'll eat or not!

That's awesome! He's coming right along.

Remember that Cleo was 14 grams when I got her. She dropped to 13 grams and then it took her about 3 more weeks to get her to 15 grams. It's only now that she seems to be starting a little spurt. I've had weeks where she gained nothing.

I agree that Loopy is due for a shed and that the paleness is a tip off. If so, you might offer only one pinky until after the shed due to increased regurge risk. I don't feed at all in shed for that reason.

Cleo sends Loopy her best!
 
Even though these aren't the very best pics, I love this girl so much and wanted to update.

Cleo ate a 4 gram pinky the night before last. She's up to 23 grams. She still likes to eat in a darker room and she still usually starts at the back end of the mouse. I put the pinky in for her really wet because she likes to lap up the water drips before and after swallowing.

Sorry this one's kind of dark, too; but I was just checking on her in her warm hide and didn't want to disturb her with extra light. Maybe tomorrow I can get some action shots!

So do I. Of course she thought the felt ornament was a nifty new hide and was beyond cute exploring it!

Thanks. I totally agree. :D

It was fun. I definitely need to take more pics with props. Watching her interact with that ornament was a blast.
 
Interesting Christmas pictures with Cleo. I was thinking about doing something similar. Maybe set up a miniature Tree with miniature presents around it and then have Rufus slither between the presents. But then I also considered decorating "His House" with those little colored Christmas lights. LOL. He'd probably think I was crazy for sure.
 
I knew I recognized your snake today on Facebook! (random right?) LOL I love that group I am in a couple and there are snakes blowing up my feed all day... Definitely recognized that little gem :D

She sure had fun with it. To her it was just a new kind of hide to explore. I'm sure Rufus would have a great time with your idea! Cleo sends cheers to her friend Rufus.

Aw thanks. Cleo takes that as quite a complement! Bella is definitely a special friend and of course there's a resemblance. Greetings to Tessa as well.

Cleo really appreciates "gem" status! She knows it, little diva that she is, but still loves to hear it. She sends her best to her friend Zelda.

Yes, I posted pics from this shoot in about 5 FB snake groups. I have not done that before, but this is baby's first Christmas, so....

FB is a whole lot better when the feed blows up with snake pics, that's for sure. You do get to recognize snakes and correlate names after a while, especially on the cornsnakes.com group.
