Jaxom, that's fantastic news! I know exactly how that lump in the snake's belly can give you a lump in your throat!
Meg, you're totally right in my opinion. I said before there's no way I could ever breed Lil in case there's a genetic reason for her early problems. With the fostersnake Skooge, her owner knows her kinks as well as her feeding problems mean she's going to be best as a virgin queen all her life.
I got the "skooge" name from the Nickleodeon cartoon series Invader Zim. Theres an alien in there called invader skooge and i just liked it:P
Skooge is looking so good!! Can I take a couple of them plastic flowers when I collect her? she looks great on them and it might help her settle into her viv a bit better
Sorry she keeps biting, must be where shes feeling alot stronger now, getting a bit bolshy :P
Of course you can have the bad-taste flowers too! They make a great hide/climbing frame for hatchlings. Most sheds are wound in between the branches, so the snakes obviously use them as shedding aids too.
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! SHE DID IT! I'm off to visit my chap tomorrow, so was going to feed Skooge tonight, but there are squeakers in the nest. So I introduced her to her first live pink, and let her have a think about it. She freaked out at first, trying to escape for about 5 minutes, then the tongue flickering increased, the head digging movements started, and she caught on, finally, to what baby snakes are supposed to do with baby mice.
She does have kinks in the last 1/4-1/3 of her body, those areas look bumpy and just don't move right, but it doesn't slow her down except in a vertical climb up the tub wall. If she gets overexcited the end of her tail takes on a life of its own, curling around in random coils, so I think there's nerve damage/deformity to that end. She defecates normally and has never regurged (stay away Murphy), so it doesnt seem to affect her digestion.
Look at her go!!
I feel like a dad watching his baby take its first steps!!
Skooge is all kinds of awesome!
The last couple of meals I forced cut-up pinks instead of puree in, to get her used to swallowing more solid stuff. As soon as she started the head-digging I knew we were going the right way. I've got new pinks due next week, plus a supply of f/t of this size, so we'll see if she converts now or takes a little time. The main problem was not distracting her, as I was lying on my bed watching her.
