first shed...with me

[95zclx]

wife and I were kinda freakin out, but I did alot of reading on here and calmed down...just never had a snake before and didnt know what to expect.

once I noticed she was in "blue" I left her alone (checked in once a day), Sunday morning I noticed she was clear again, later that evening she shed, it looks to be a perfect shed, absolutely nothing left on her and the shed is all one piece.

I also made her a "lego" house, 2-story...ha!

and i finally remembered to weigh her, shes 18g. the pinkie was 3g.
5 months old.

i started a chart to see the progression...that is if i remember to get the scale out!

Yay! Congratulations! I always feel much more comfortable when they've successfully had their first shed with me. :} Sonya's looking great too! Very pretty Normal! Great silverly-grey background color.

Be sure to take pics after each shed. It's great fun to look at them after a year to see how much they've changed.

yeah, i thought about doing this, my wife kinda laughs at me when i get Sonja out, cause i always get the camera ready first...ha.

i saw someone on here do like a "scrap-book" thing, i thought about doing that too...to girly though...j/k, no but seriously.

Oh man, I've thought of scrapping my snakes more than a few times. I'm into scrapbooking, so it's especially hard for me to resist. You should totally do it though. Just think of all of those special firsts you'll forget about if you don't!

At this weight, you can move her up to two pinkies per feeding. She's a growing girl, and she needs more nutrients.

Wait until you may have the luck of watching her shed. That truly is an awesome experience and one you will never forget!
