That's great news that the Cribo ate; the rest is pretty easy. You guys did a nice job with your table at NARBC; can't wait for next year. You may want to re-think your "venomous" sign; once word gets around, animal control could come knocking and if they confiscate that cribo, its good as dead.

>>I just wanted to let you know the Cribo ate. I was feeding the green female I used for your show and I decided to cut off half the tail and throw it in with the cribo. She did not take it off tongs or anything but I left and came back to see it gone. I laughed and decided to give her a small rat and see if she showed more interest. She was a bit scared of it and backed off even if I moved it from a distance...but she ate when I stepped away and left the rat a few inches from her. I was happy.
>>
>>I was going to wait a little longer but she just looked so skinny I figured it could not hurt too much. I also can't wait to start cleaning poop and get a fecal on her.
>>
>>I wish she has a little more of the Drymarchon attitude though. I told everyone it was a cobra "blacktail cobra" and they are actually pretty excited and keep wanting to get a look at her. They want to see her "hood." I told everyone she is pretty calm because she is captive bred. I have her neodesha all locked up and labeled "WARNING: VENOMOUS." I always use hooks to open the cage when people are around too. Its pretty funny.
>>
>>I want to keep the joke going with them but I don't want to get the police knocking at my door.
