Better feed, new equipment

10/19/14

Feed:
Fed her the usual two medium mice except this time it didn't take her 30+ minutes to eat the first mouse, it was under 5 minutes.  I see this as a win.  Although this time she pulled it into her hide and ate it there.  The second mouse wasn't seen being eaten, but after a short while it was gone as well.

Equipment:
We went to the scott smith all animal expo
on sunday, purchased a 24"x12" section of already setup flexx watt, already crimped, corded, etc for $20, not too shabby.  There was a guy there who did it while you wait, slick.  Also picked up a medium flat pan water bowl for her, something much larger than she had so now she can soak if she wants.  Although I'd guess it'll be too small pretty soon.

The show was different this time, oddly enough, it had far more children and far far more rat snakes.  More of both than any other time I've been to it.  It was a great change.

Personally I don't care for

ball pythons
, geckos
, red-tail boas

, or chams
 a
nd that was 98% of the past shows there.  This is, for me, a great change.  From what I saw at the show, they had just about every new world rat snake for sale, amazing.
