Hi guys...just an intro to my snake. Name's drey, sex : M, but i suspect F.
i've been told he's a blood red, but my money's on normal still. i dont know what colour his head was when young, as i just got him about 2 months ago. he's around 1 1/2 yrs old..50 inches according to the snake measuring program.
he just shed today! surprise surprise as he just shed last month. while eating! that was amazing...after his first mouse, he suddenly shoved his nose against the wall of his viv and held it there pushing with such force his whole body vibrated!
just as my friend and i were wondering what in the wide world could he be doing ( as he wasn't rubbing up and down, just acting as if he wanted to bore straight through the wall!), he pulled back, and lo and behold, a flap of skin had peeled back from his head.
So, with that flap of skin loose ( and looking like an absurb cap), he proceeded to down the second mice in a hurry, though i really doubt that he could see much as the flap was obscuring his eyes. the greedy thing. After that, he proceeded to slither around the viv, and got out of his skin beautifully! all in one piece. it's hanging out to dry now, i plan on keeping it.
It just made my day =) plus the fact that he ate, coz he's been refusing food for a while now.
By the way..could anyone tell me how to post pictures? i've tried but so far all my files are too big! how do i cut them down to size?
