10 months of pain

This girl came from Ghana last November and weighed 1670g
I tried everything,live,thawed,brown,white,big,small you name the rodent i tried it,but nothing.
I decided to move her from a CB-70 system into a 4ft vision.
She has multiple hides and a bedding of Auboise(horse bedding).
6 weeks ago i put in 2 rat weaners.The next morning they were gone!!!.
I completely striped the viv and found nothing.
Could this be true i thought or have they got out.
Next week i tried the same again,but this time i had a torch ready.Didn't need the torch,no sooner had they touched the entrance to the hide when BANG,she nailed 1 real good.
She has now eaten every week,2 at a sitting and things appear to be working out.
Don't mean to bore you guys,but i am over the moon.

Under a dead ohio sky,
Eleven has been and will be waiting,
Defending his light,
And wondering...
Where the hell have I been?
Sleeping, lost, and numb.
So glad that I have found you.
I am wide awake and heading home.

because to look like that and grow to 1670 grams in the wild is nothing short of lucky.

Best Pied on the planet. Unless of course she has a higher white sister or brother sleeping in a hole in Ghana tonight. LOL

Thanks for sharing.

There are at least 2 people in the US that can cofirm she is WC,if they wanted too. I do not know who they are ,as i was bidding against them for the snake.
UK customs took 10 hrs to clear this particular snake,as every man and his dog wanted a picture of her.
The important thing to me is that she is on the way up and i can be one of the few people that can have there own line of piebald.
