he wanted to try these nice new yummy rats but when the rats got here his eyes were blue. the next day his eyes were cleared but i didnt feed him cause i wanted him to shed first. i fed all my other snakes and he was not pleased. now today i woke up and went downstairs and in record time he had shed. never does he shed till about 5 days after his eyes clear. he rushed his shed to get a rat and i know it
i looked at him and lo and behold he had an eye cap stuck on one eye. the rest of the shed was great. it was his way to pay me back for not feeding him yesterday. so i got him out and got the eye cap off and took some pictures of him in his nice new shiny skin.
here is his 'get out of jail free' card 'his 'i can get away with anything' card. his 'i am a spoiled mess' card. look at his pattern and see how it says 'mom' he knows that will let him get away with murder and he is not afraid to use it!
pretty new skin
so while he is out i put in the lid i feed him on. you do not want to put it in there while he is in the cage cause you WILL lose an arm! then i put him in the cage. notice he is looking for the rat on the lid.
then you hold him back with a hook and put the rat in. finally it is dinner time! the rat starts out on the lid but by the time he is done killing the already dead rat he is in a pretzel shape and across the whole cage. but the dead rat is super dead now. couldn't be anymore dead. it has died a thousand deaths.
the feeding pictures are not so great because you do not open his dooor for any reason for 2 days after and while he is eating. you will lose a limb if you do not follow this. anything breathing will also die a thousand deaths.
in august a trap door type thing is getting added to his cage so that i can just open it and drop the food in.
