SIGB PICS...

I posted her in the boa forum too, but I doubt she'll get appreciated as much as Candoia freaks like us! Anyway, I've had her over 1 1/2 years...I've documented ONE shed, that's right, 1 SHED!!!!! She eats like a maniac and has the best temperament.
ENJOY! ~Jason

Is this a recent pict? What does she weigh? I am curious since my SIGB is about a year and (checking his card)30grams now. Was a nonfeeding neonate last April.

Sonya,
Yes it is a recent pic and I'm not sure about the weight but I would guess its about same as yours. Mine too was a nonfeeder at first. Then after awhile, she caught onto the idea. I've fine tuned my force feeding technique as a result of the experience.

I never force fed these guys. I assist feed Ball Pythons but I am not gonna go there....
These I discovered would readily take dusky salamander larva and small sals.(upstate NY is shy on anoles or house gex) READILY...like leap out of a coma and wolf them down. Once I taught them to take sals from my hand I could get weight on them and then I just switched to tiny pinks and upward. Amazingly they never looked back once they learned to take food from me and this guy will eat anything I think.
