oh, I got no complaints He's calmer than my male reticulated python at least. And it's not like they can really hurt me.

He's just so...different in behavior when handled. It's odd and kinda made me wonder what was up. It's like....huh. None of the others do that. I mean, they display a range of temperments (my wife's dubbed one of the females sweetie pie...), but what's odd attracts attention. There's lace female taking food out of my hand--I know it's an SFE waiting to happen but I figure it can't hurt me too much. Not like they're a hot or giant. She's a hoot to watch. I open the cage, hold the mouse by the tail and she shoots up, grabs the head and starts eating him down.



I do have one question--3 of the smallest lace males aren't eating. At first I thought they were just in shed, but they've turned down live and f/t pinks now. I tried one each in a deli cup and once just in the cage, all feedings taking place over night. What'd you advise to scent with? Reptile or poultry? Or maybe some other rodent (gerbil maybe?). They're really, really pretty. but they're the only ones not chomping pinks. Baffling me. They're so pretty! I want them to do well.



I gotta say, they do seem to have a lower metabolism than the kings do--or is that just my imagination? I'm feeding those two white sides non stop, they're just never done eating...but the housies are about once a week. And the corns are doing great. I can't wait for M. to get hers I have a month or so to get some more size on for it...and good lord those are nice corns!
