Everything is coming along nicely with the new bulls. I cant believe I neglected these snakes for so long. My deppei deppeis are just amazing animals and the bulls are...well....bulls. I finally got them all switched to rats except the durangos and I suspect, teh way theyve been eating they are going to be 4 or 5 years old before I try to breed them They are finicky eaters, or at least mine are but we are getting through it. I have some northerns coming next weekend and then Im going to stop new purchases for awhile. (yeah right lol). Just got a new rack system in today that will be used as a yearling rack. The bulls will be fine in these V-18's till next year and by then Ill have something more permanent set up. Really glad everyone switched to rats without problem. They were fuzzy rats and I got them live ones but they devoured them so im sure ft wont be refused.
Ive been monitoring their length and weight pretty often and on a once a week diet I had a white side and a normal het each gain 4" in length in 3 1/2 weeks.
For those of you that havent used http://serpwidgets.com/main/measure to measure your snakes I recommend it. Its easy and you can take a pic right before feeding and then throw the snake in teh feeding box on a scale and get its weight and then zero the scale and throw the prey in and get its weight too, all in fluid steps.
Anyway, here are some pics.
