yea I tried to do attachments but it wasn’t working thanks guys he’s just a baby, I don’t think he’s older than 4 months old

I’m so excited Firefly just went through his first shed *at least with us anyway* he looks way more stunning now though he didn’t eat on wed because of it hopefully he’ll eat this wednesday

Yea it didn’t come off in one nice shed LBJ but it didn’t come off in little pieces either (it was like medium pieces) but yea it’s all off now he’s such a sweetie I hope he’ll eat tomorrow

thanks for the tip LBJ and thank you LongEared I think he’s the most adorable little guy ever

He ate I’m so happy but we didn’t put his hide back in time and now he’s under the news paper so we have to wait to put everything back where it goes so we don’t upset his tummy

Firefly is now 260 grams and is eating 2 small rat pups per meal (I would switch to a bigger more appropriate sized rat but I want to use up what I have first) he’s about 2 feet long I think it’s about time to switch out his cage to a bigger one but we’ve only had him for month and I don’t want to move to fast for him, he is about as long as the cage.

I agree what a cutie also what’s a PVC cage? Firefly’s last shed wasn’t too bad but it wasn’t one long piece like it’s supposed to be either it was like a middle sized piece falls off and then another middle sized piece (they aren’t small so I’m thinking the humidity is ok). So the sheds aren’t great but not horrible either. None of it was stuck on him except for his little tail which I carefully removed after it wasn’t removed on it’s own within the time limit that the rest of his skin shed off. Can you put a picture of Whiskey’s cage on here?

I don’t quite get what it’s made of?

So Firefly is now 303grams of cuteness, we took him out Sunday for handling time and Josh (my BF) was about to take a picture and the flash went off and poor Firefly musta been super scared because he went all over the bed luckily the sheets and pillows needed to be washed anyway. All I can say is snakes can pee/poop a lot at once . Also he was in shed which went a LOT better this time because we were constantly checking the humidity and kept it at like 75% the whole time. The shed was one long shed which is shown here https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10206088201389277&l=aca3e405c6 you gotta copy and paste it into the search bar

Yea and it was stinky too, it didn’t really get on the mattress either which was fortunate but everything else was thrown into the washing machine >.> but hey we learned our lesson which is the same protocol that you have already learned

Poor snake I don’t even want to imagine that mess….hope he got a bath

Wow that’s def a good thing Sonn I was like “ewwwww…..I’m just gonna put you back now so I can clean up” though I did do it quickly I made sure to be gentle putting him back.

Also LBJ it was obvious that the snake was gonna get a bath I just kept thinking “poor thing” I knew that you guys wouldn’t let him stay dirty. Question how do you give snakes baths? not that Firefly needs one he’s a very clean snake but just in case

Sounds really easy and it’s understandable that you wouldn’t bathe them very often

I’ve noticed recently that Firefly has gotten a wee too big for his cage, and his hidey as well. Now when he goes in his hidey it lifts up a little bit because of his coils so Josh’s dad and mom kindly donated us an old fish tank (about 30 gallons) even though it was super dirty (has been sitting outside for the past year or so) and also had frozen fish pebbles at the bottom >.> so Josh cleaned it up and it looks almost like new. We’re going to set it up tonight I’m sure he’ll be happy to have a little more room to wiggle in. Poor guy is just growing so fast.

He’s also eating small rats now just gotta finish up these rat pups first (he’s eating about 3 each week now they are really small) but I can’t wait until they’re gone and he can eat a proper sized meal *he’s getting the correct amount of food it’s just weird to feed him 3 of them a week).
