Re: Kings of the forum!

My silly girl. I had to coax her out of the humid hide to get her to eat tonight. First one went down no problem. She had no problems striking it mid-air. The second? Totally different story. She doesn't seem to like when the pinky just lays there and decided to go for the tongs instead and nearly struck herself a moment later. I only had near-fuzzy sized pinkies or teeny tiny pinkies left for her tonight. I can't see one of those near-fuzzy sized pinkies fitting past her jaws yet, they look at least 2x the width of her.

Crappy pictures, it's late and she doesn't like my phone much. Wow, I've officially had her for 2 months now. She was 1-2 months when I got her. I'm expecting her second shed with me any day now. She ate the first pinky while still half inside her hide.



A tiny meal. One of the smallest pinkies in this last batch.

Re: Kings of the forum!

I really like your Aberrant Cal King Lefitte. Judging from her size, and if she's 3-4 months old, and eating 2 pinks easily she can most likely handle a mouse fuzzy. You'd be surprised at the size of prey they can consume. Do you know how much she weighs?

Re: Kings of the forum!

I don't know how much she weighs, I've been wanting to get a scale for her but other things have come up. My LPS has one, I didn't notice until they weighed a beardie that came in, but that's a long time to handle her and I don't have anything to transport in so it doesn't seem worth stressing her out. Any suggestions on low priced decent scales?

Amazon has some relatively inexpensive scales.

Amazon.com: digital scale

Re: Kings of the forum!

I picked up an electronic scale (for shipping packages) dirt cheap on e-bay a couple years ago. Also works great for cooking, and of course now weighing reptiles.
