Female Red Blood

Kitchi Jun 26, 2003 12:22 AM

Here is my 2000' female I have raised since birth. She comes from an excellent looking bloodline traced back through Royal Matrix, Hammond and originally the St. Louis zoo. Interestingly, I have never got her on rats and feeding her f/t mice is not that easy. I have to tap her on the side of the head several times with a jumbo mouse that is still warm from hot water to get her to take it. Just as well, these are probably a very susceptible boid to over feeding. Anyway, she will be ready to breed next year. Her sibling male mate, will eat anything, anytime and I have had to hold him back to roughly her size. He is just as nice looking and both have always been docile even though I only handle them to clean cages.
