Re: My new little giant
I *LOVE* those eyes! I suggest more and more pics *nod nod*!
Great pic on the snake!
My carpet will "bump" me sometimes when she is fussy, and doesn't want to be bothered. I just reach in and pick her up *lol* (hey, sometimes i need to get in there, and she just needs to deal with it!)
I find that if i hover, or hesitate, that's when a bite happens. Hubby is very jumpy and can't pick her up. She'll be calm and fine, and if he goes in there for some reason he just hesitates and she gets real fussy and strikes at him, Coils up like that and rears back.
I got him a snake hook *lmao*

Re: My new little giant
She's never struck at me, yet...
I'll see if I can take more pictures tonight. Last night when I got home she had buried herself in the substrate so I didn't bother her, but she was out and about this morning. She uses her entire viv, I might bump her up to the larger one and give her all the room she can use and more.

those eyes again... There's real intelligence there.
just chillin' in my hand
I took some pictures of her on the WOAH posters that I got in the mail, they're not exactly what I would call family appropriate. So here's the link to the album. If Wayne ok's it I'll post them up.

Re: My new little giant
I think she might be starting to dull down prior to shed. She was supper active until a few days ago and I'm noticing that she's definitely duller in the pics than she was when she came home. She's also been hiding more lately. Here's hoping she'll be sporting some new skin sometime soon!

My guy is like that - pretty much set you watch by when he will be out and about and active as anything, but for about a week before he sheds he stays in one hide and barely moves.

Good to hear, I hadn't seen her since I took that last batch of pictures. She's just curled up in her hide, half buried in substrate.

Re: My new little giant
This has got to be the weirdest thing I've ever heard of. She's being the problem feeder tonight. Offered her the fuzzy rat and she struck like expected, coiled up, and just ignored it. Ok, so I offered her the fuzzy mouse that I need to get rid of and she struck, dropped the rat, coiled up, and looked like she was gonna down it, but nope, dropped it. Well she was definitely still in feed mode (I was doing video tonight) and she kept striking at anything with a heat source. She's never struck at me before but I suppose it could be defensive, but I don't think so. Well I put her hide back in on top of her, offered the rat again, she took it, and I put the lid on her tub and draped my new USARK t-shirt over to hopefully give her the privacy she's seeking. I'm gonna check on her one more time before bed and again in the morning, hopefully she eats, if not, oh well. Already got one mouse going in the trash.

Re: My new little giant
I knew it was stupid to worry, left her alone for 45 minutes and she chowed down. Editing video now, but I SHOULD go to bed, oh well.
