I love her little white mark on her head!! She fed on Friday so I let her be as long as I could before taking her out for about an hour and getting a few pics. The lighting in here sucks but it's about 20 degrees outside so can't do outdoor pics!! She finally pooped to (thank god) although maybe she just doesn't want to dirty her viv cause she decided to do it on my comforter!!

They often don't poop while they are in shed. In fact I've often found a big poop and the shed at the same time.

Excercise can definitely bring on a poop, too.

Bella is so pretty!
 
Awe thank you I am a proud momma!! It's so hard to show in pictures but I'm amazed at the differences in her color after her shed!! The whole idea of all the changes I will get to see with her excites me to no end lol!! While I'm writing this let me ask you guys how you feel about having more than one snake in a viv? I'm just wondering! I'm so hooked and want to get another corn, preferably a male that's maybe a little older I haven't decided yet! I'm not thinking of putting anyone in with Bella I'm just wondering what everyone's feelings are on the subject[emoji16]


Bella's Mom
 
Most folks around here, myself included, are pretty strongly against cohabbing, especially a male and female together. Here is why. (Be warned, it's a bit graphic.)
 
Omg that is terrible!! I had no idea that would even be an issue! Wow I'm glad I asked!! I was really wondering because a friend of mine had two red tail boas in the same viv and I always thought it was kind of odd because I had literally never seen two snakes in the same viv regardless of the species


Bella's Mom
 
That's not unusual with growing babies. 4 to 5 weeks between sheds I mean. So hard not being able to see and handle in shed though!
 
Oh god it really is! At least I have two now and Tessa just shed so I can at least take her out lol! I didn't realize Bella was in blue until after I fed her of course but she was just as enthusiastic as ever to take the fuzzy!! She's so cute though she actually constricts her fuzzies now!!


Nicole
 
I've fed in shed because I didn't know. If they take it they are usually okay.

I know, between feedings and shed there's a lot of non handling time. Two is a necessity just to not go through snake withdrawal!

I love it when they constrict! They are so cute.
 
So Bella has shed twice in a months time, could this mean I'm feeding her too much? Like is she growing too much or getting fat? I'm feeding her a 6g fuzzy every 5 days and she's at 32g herself

Maybe. They may shed for other reasons besides growth. have you ruled them out?

You could go to feeding every 6 days very easily if you are concerned. That's one of those judgement calls we all get to make.
 
Well I checked her all over for anything else and have her a nice bath which produced a nice big poo!! For some reason my girls prefer to poo anywhere but in their enclosures, including mostly on mommy or in the bath or scale of course!!
