Trinity had a pretty large meal yesterday. She had a rat pup and her first chick. I feed my snakes pretty liberally for their first 2 years and then I start dialing them back to a more conservative feeding schedule.

Dang man....that pattern/coloration is beautiful.

Very nice EL! I see you breeding carpets real soon. Haha. It's a no brainer. Welcome to the club. I just put my candino possible het pied male with my albino girl.

**EL Ziggy** · 05-14-16, 04:13 PM

Thanks gents. She's a really sweet girl. Not defensive at all. I'm hoping she'll continue to color up nicely. She's gonna be moving into a larger enclosure soon. I want to put her next to my male jcp but that means the Bredl goes back in the tub or I have to order a new enclosure which I'm going to need eventually anyway but I could put it off until the top of next year if I wanted. I'll see how they grow over the next few months. Best wishes with those breeding projects guys. I'm expecting great things from you two.

Looks quite like mine did after he/she got out and feasted on a tub full of mice. Here's a caught-in-the-act pic, already packed away 6 )mostly pregnant adult females) and I wasn't sure where this 7th was supposed to fit.:

She's not all the way there yet but she's starting to grow on me. All 311g of her.

If you (for some reason) want her to grow as h-. Frequent feeding and heat around the clock. K. Brothers explains

I love K Brothers videos. I'm not planning on breeding this girl so no need to bulk her up quickly. She's eating a decent sized meal every 5-7 days. Sometimes she gets 1 prey item and other times she'll get 2 food items.

Zig... 2 things...

1) they started to pip

i'll send some pics as they emerge.
2) you need to look into Reptilinks.

**EL Ziggy** · 05-22-16, 02:35 PM

@ MDT- great news on the pips! Keep me posted! What are the benefits of the links vs. rodents/chicks?

I'll pm you the deets
