Well today was an odd day, I called all the petstores in the area and nobody had fuzzies >_< Finally I found a place about 40min away that had them, but he wasn't open today >_< BUT, he understood how a snake needs to eat so he let me come in to get some! So I went out and got 10 fuzzies, he gave me 12 cause he breeds them himself and always has extra. This guy had a dwarf caiman in the window lol scared the crap out of me when I walked in, it must have been around 4-5 feet long.
He had tons of snakes and helped me out a bunch ^_^
So I came home and held her for a few minutes but she got stressed pretty quick so I put her back in and offered her a fuzzy. It took her a few seconds to get interested, but after I jiggled it around and did the "mouse dance" struck and started to eat. But she kinda tried to eat it from the middle and after that didnt work out, found the head and started to swallow. I was kinda worried she couldnt get past the front feet as they stuck out a bit and she just sat there at that point for a few minutes. But she got by them eventually and the rest went down easily. Then she strolled on over to the hot hide and dove in ^_^ Glad to see her use the hot hide when I'm watching.
She seems to favor the cold side a little more then the hotside, but I have seen her inside both of them everyday since I got her so I think my temps are ok ^_^
Not bad for my first feeding I guess, considering it was her first F/T meal ever. The guys I bought her from were feeding live fuzzies.
I'll post 2 or 3 new pics later, along with a pic of her "hugging" her meal ^_--
