Hey Laura!

It's just a fluke that I found your post, what, over a month afterwards. I was searching for something else and just now read your post. I guess because you technically replied to "dadspets" post and not mine, he got the post alert instead of me.



Here's the Q you asked:

"I remember that snake in the parrot cage. How is she doing overall? I know you mentioned that she has a strong feeding response, but is she fairly reasonable when being handled?"



She's doing good, growing like a weed. No problem whatsoever when handled. No hissing or anything. But when she's hungry, woohoo!, she's jumpy, ready to grab anything/everything. Lightnin' quick stike with a whole lot of force.



She switched to rabbits like she's been eatin' 'em all her life but I know she hasn't. When I hold a rabbit for her with my grabbers, the force of her striking/grabbing the rabbit knocks my arm back nearly a foot. I'm a tough-guy, "snake bites don't hurt" type of fella but I do NOT want this gal biting me. The force would probably break my arm. Hahaha!!!



Just the other day I had to get her out to clean her cage and her eyes were cloudy (pre shed). She was smooth & gentle. A real sweetheart, as long as she's well fed.



Going to Daytona expo? I'm planning on heading down to my mom's in Plymouth probably the Tues or Wed before. I'm supposed to meet Randy & Michelle of "Art In Scales" probably Friday night in Daytona & we'll probably go to the expo together Saturday. Supposed to meet a few other people, too. I told Tom Crutchfield I'd take him out to lunch Saturday if he can slip away from his booth long enough. I met Tom there last year.



Take care!

Mike
