Progression thread: Cleo the Butter Motley

Vital statistics:

Breeder/Vendor: Reptiles by Mack
Hatch date: August 28, 2015
Morph: Butter Motley (amel, caramel, motley)
Sex: Female
Purchase Date and place: October 10, 2015 at NARBC Tinley Park
Age at purchase: 6 weeks
Weight at purchase: 14 grams
Name: Cleo (short for Cleopatra, the queen of Egypt)

I first saw Cleo here and it was love at first sight. I handled her and she was totally sweet. The purchase followed very quickly.



After a long ride home in the deli cup I took a moment to get a quick pic.



Where am I?



October 11: A little surprise from miss Cleo the next morning. Didn't have to wait long for the first shed at home!



October 19: First post shed pic after digesting her first meal (October 16) at home. She is sleeping in her favorite cork round and I don't think I woke her. One word to the wise, split your cork round and then set the two halves back together. If it is intact, you will never get your baby snake out for feeding, wellness checks, etc. I know this how?

She's really lovely. I love the name too. Also, yes to splitting log hides in half! I had my husband reattach the two pieces with a little hinge.

Yeah, I went to try to feed her the first time and couldn't get her out. Unlike a tp roll they can really grip in a log. Love the little hinge idea. I'm not too high tech and just press the edges together. The cork is reasonably grippy.

Almost 17 inches!



Wow, Cleo sure is a long girl! I knew she was long relative to the length of the viv, but I've now confirmed it with Serpwidget. Since I already had her in the clear critter keeper while I did a thorough poo search of her viv, I decided to snap a pic with a ruler. It's not the most artistic, but I was able to use it. It still shows what a pretty girl she is.

The ruler is 4 inches long.
Length of snake:
Straight: 1 feet, 4.84 inches
Curved: 1 feet, 4.98 inches

Nerdy details:
Snake is 3451.66 pixels long.
Ruler is 819.95 pixels long.
Each pixel is 0.0049 inches.

She's eating well now. She still likes a darkened room and doesn't strike but readily bites and chows down, usually butt end first. I didn't take a weight today but her last two pinkies were 3 grams each so I'm expecting to see 16 grams at the next weigh in. Obviously her tail adds inches without weight.

I've started to handle her more and she's definitely calming down. I can't believe I've only had her a month. I let her crawl around my bed for a few minutes yesterday. It was her first trip outside the viv where she could crawl in a larger area.

I won't be surprised if she goes into shed soon. It's about time for it, but it happens when it happens.
