It was like striking gold! I found a pack of 50 TMF hoppers in the freezer! I REALLY need hoppers! And I also found a pack of large pinks.

I'll say it again- I love feeding babies. Seven snakes fed, one twice! in less than 30 minutes, including thawing pinks and washing all water bowls. My littlest snake is now 13 grams. Jasmine, bloodred. She trades back and forth with lav stripe Calli for that title.

Today was to be Jasper's (2007 Hypo Bloodred, regurged once, treated with kid gloves ever since!) graduation to a peach fuzzy. I picked out the smallest, thawed it, cut it in half (I think I am ready to stop cutting his meals in half, it was pretty messy with a fuzzy) and sprinkled it with Nutribac. Jasper is blue. I decided not to feed. I'm not taking any chances with him.

What to do with the butchered fuzzy? Hey, Janine ate her hopper and hasn't been put away yet- it will barely be noticeable to her! Janine didn't think twice about eating a bloody half fuzzy with strange powder on it. Gotta love kingsnakes.

Not the most thrilling picture ever, but better than no picture! Janine weighed in at 120 grams today. She is packing on the grams.

Ah, nature's wonderful garbage disposal, the kingsnake. I can usually count on our to step up and take the extras unless they are in the blue. Janine looks like she's far from complaining about the extra too. =)
 
Janine *bleeping* rocks! I have not found that all kings and milks live up to the garbage disposal reputation, but the FL kings sure seem to. My big lav-albino would eat a small leather shoe if you threw it into her feeding tub.
 
I tried to get a picture of her when I gave her the hopper, but I didn't have the camera out...She had the mouse by the foot, and about five coils around it- she looked like a hangman's noose. She let go of the foot by the time I got back, and had relaxed. She bit me today even though I'd really washed before getting her out. She can just tell it's feeding day and gets really wound up. Any other day she's gentle as a lamb.

Now Jewel (Eastern/Florida intergrade) is a little scary. She thinks every day is feeding day until proven otherwise. She'll FLY out of her bin even two days after a meal- just hoping. She hasn't bitten me yet, but there's potential. Luckily she's only 50 grams.
