Full feed, handling, bath

11/2/14

I followed the standard Sunday routine of two defrosted medium mice and some privacy. It worked, she ate them both. I didn't do anything different than my last couple of posts in terms of thawing/prep/placement/etc. So I couldn't have been that far off in my guess at a good routine.

Prior to the feeding, maybe 6 hours earlier, I had taken her out and let her move around quite a bit, after a long warm up on me, she did just that.  And very much didn't want to be put back in her enclosure.  Good.

She seems to be getting much more use to being handled.  She never really had a problem with it, but now she just hangs out until I move around and she thinks it's time to play (read: escape).  And the 'staying on my wrist' time is getting better as well, I'm guessing that in a year or two of doing this I'll be able to take her out to a show or two, that'll be fun.

The night before that I gave her another warm water bath as there were some remnant scale flakes on her belly, hopefully that took care of them.  She still hates the bath.  I'm guessing that has more to do with being a semi-arboreal snake than it does with her specifically.
