....just getting comfortable!!

Got this girl last fall at about 1100 gm...fed a few times on small rats...went several months w/o feeding, ate a few times early this summer, then went off feed (one of those summer "fasters"...she turned on a few weeks back and is slamming f/k rats like gangbusters...at the right time...!!!

I don't recall seeing a good "inverted" pic in the forum...lots of references to them but no pics...females often quickly "right" themselves when you slide open the tub...this girl was in a deep snooze and I opened the tub VERY slowly...she just looked up and went, "huh?"...

Thanks for playing along!

Sure is nice having my own camera finally!

Scott
