skittish,but comes out and looks around a lot more now, has ate like a pig,
and has shed for the first time since I've got him/her......still a little hard to get that pic so you guys can try and sex it.......well thats it for now!!

[adamanteus]

Sounds like you're doing fine Justin. You''ll have to try harder with that pic!

[ScimitarX]

Keep up the good work, you'll get that pic eventually. Maybe you could try bribery with food lol:D

[drache]

boy the pics really make it look fater than what it really is....lol
she doesn't care what her bum looks like

[Lulu Bennett]

my initial thought was female because of the change in size between the body and tail. are me and rhea right?? :D

[adamanteus]

Female, I do believe!;)

[enigma200316]

I could agree with that because she definitly acts like a women.....lol
no pun intended......

[Josh]

id say female,
nice looking snake by the way :)

[enigma200316]

thanks.....I like the color, she has a redish color to her because down her
in between the scales she has a nice bright red color, I hope it stays that way...I said she was 12inches when I first got her, however she is more like 15-16 inches so I don't know if thats adult or still young, and if the color will change at all.......any advice on that?

[Josh]

yea you don't see that much.
Mine has a blue shade.
in between the scales like you were talking about.
I doubt the color will change that much.
Also she might have some more to grow.

[Sid]

Easy with the quality of your pics. Female.

To answer your age/size question, she is still a young snake. I'd expect a female eastern to easily attain 2 ft, possibly 2.5-3ft. Colors could very easily become more intense with age, or maybe lighten with age, only time will tell ! Good luck !

[enigma200316]

Hi.....just wanted to update on my pig of a Sirtalis....:D
she has eaten her first pinkies.....:p just had to heavily sent with worm:rolleyes:
well thats it for now...........:cool:

[Kurly1]

That's great! Our eastern ate his first Pinky on Monday and we were so excited because it was our first try and didn't take long for him to accept it. :)

[enigma200316]
