I have a 4 footer that I've had for months and she hasn't calmed down yet. She's very moody. Sometimes she is better if I tail her, while other days she won't stand for it!

Some days she naps all day, and others she is non-stop sniffing and probing and huffing, and will hood at any movement and faux-strike (usually closed-mouthed) when you pass. Then I'll have company and want to show off her beauty and she will casually look up like an old burmese python. LOL!

I do my best not to remove her any more than necessary. I have a long scoop that I use for spot cleaning but, occassionally, I have to remove her to give things a good cleaning.

Oh...and be ready for the eternal crapfest. There are times when she goes every other day and, due to their fast metabolism, it's usually kind of runny and smells to high heaven! Also, they fart like an old man. Cracked me up the first time I heard it!

But they're beautiful and fascinating creatures. I'm as enthralled with her now as I was the first day I saw her.
