Crush's Progression Thread

Ok, many of these have been posted up in different threads...but I figured it was time to go ahead and start Crush his own little progression thread!
So here he is!
Just some side notes incase you haven't seen his other threads..
I am not sure of his sex, but for the sake of not calling him an "it", I decided he was a boy until proven otherwise :)
He is an Amel, and he is a couple months old now...sorry no weight on him yet, picking up a scale Friday...payday lol

This is a comparison shot, it's a crappy photo, but this is one of those fake tree hides from PetSmart, just so you can kind of see how long he is..

His first feed..w/me

These next three are from his 2nd feed with me...not the one he regurged, the one before that...

Enjoy! Like everyone else on here, I love to snap some shots of my little guy whenever I can, but since he regurged, I won't be handling him for a bit until he is better...but I will put up some feed pics of him chowing down on some pinkie parts...

Thanks man...ya I got him at a petshop, which now that I know the prices at shows...I'll probably never buy another snake from a petshop...but at the shop they had regulars and amels...and of the two I thought the Amels were pretty interesting:)
 
Lucky. I wish there were shows around here. At least if there are, I don't know about them. I guess I could make a weekend trip sometime to go to one! I have always wanted to go and see what they are like.
 
Amarillo would be the closest place I would check first, may have to go all the way in to Dallas....and no I had no clue where Lubbock, TX was, lol...had to Mapquest:)
I am out for now, gotta rest up before work, but I'll be back on around 10:30pm...my time...(it's 6:10pm for me right now)
 
Yeah Amarillo is where I am originally from..I moved to Lubbock to go to school at Texas Tech..go Red Raiders! (Hence the snake names...Red and Raider!)

I don't know of any that go on in Amarillo, but then again I don't know how I would know about them anyways.

Is there like a place to go to find that stuff out?

Alright talk to you then.
 
***UPDATE***
Crush took half of a 1 gram pinkie today...he regurged just over a week ago...but he did great, went after it like he'd not eaten in years (even though he's only months old:))
I will be checking in on him hourly to look for regurge...let's hope I don't find anything!

SUCCESSFUL POPPING!!!
I was so excited to find out the "he" is a he! It was easier than I ever thought, and it took barely any pressure...and out popped two little hemipenes! I never thought I'd be so happy to see a couple tiny little snake penises...:roflmao: !!!!

And honestly it was 10x easier to tell on Crush (13 grams) than it was to tell on Sniper (116 grams)!

-Josh

And to tommymamba...he was in blue at the time of those photos, but wouldn't have known for my life...lol...now I have read about some ways to "kinda" tell when he is in blue. And have also read that it gets MUCH easier to tell with age...but he had a perfect full shed on 02/20...I should have put that in this thread and not made another one, but oh well :)
 
Woo! Congrats!
I've wanted to try popping on my little ones, but I'm too scared I would apply too much pressure or not enough or...blah blah blah.
Haha
But anyways, congrats!
 
Dude, I was barely rolling, and the hemipenes popped out! I was really surprised!
I will do it again real quick when Courtney gets home and have her take a close up pic...

This is a video of Ralph Davis teaching how to pop (skip to 1:00 into it and he starts the popping part) and probe BPs...same method of popping for Corns, just less pressure (atleast it took less for mine)
I watched this about 3 or 4 times and gave it a shot...and it worked! You should try it...my little guy didn't even mind :)
Good luck!

-Josh
 
Sweet! Thanks Josh. I'm gonna watch it and try it on my lil ones. I have to wait till tomorrow because I juts fed them on Friday and I don't wanna stress them out before they have fully digested.
 
The funniest part was....normally when I handle him, he is very good...sometimes a little flighty, but he is a baby...so that should be expected...

After I popped him, he slithered between my fingers and just hung out until I put him up...he was kinda looking around like:
"Hey! Aren't you going to buy me dinner after that?"

Sorry Crush...dinner is two nights away :)
 
Two pics...first one he snuck his head back around while I was popping him, so we figured if we were going to take glory shots of him, we should atleast take one of his face :) Second on is his hemipenes, you dont' have to roll them out very far to see them at all...good luck, and I hope this helps!
