Re: She ate!
CONGLATURATION ! ! !
You prooved the justice of our culture.
Now go and rest our hero!
Ah, I remember the first time I saw my snakes eating, almost like it was just a few days ago....
Oh, wait. It was just a few days ago. Never mind.
Anyway, seeing my big green one swimming around the water dish, chasing minnows, and later, seeing my little red one eating minnows in the bottom of a bucket... it was a tremendous feeling. Both relief (because now I know they're eating) and pride. I've got a new one I'm going to try feeding in a day or so.People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but actually, from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint, it's more like a big ball of wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey stuff.

Re: She ate!
I remember mine and her first feeding. and the attempts before it.
I put the small travel carrier in her enclosure with some fish in it.. She went into it and sat there then played dead rolling over in the water not moving.
stubborn girl.. Then I grabbed some tongs and waved the fish in front of her while she sat in my wife's hands and she started going crazy snapping 4 fish out the air.
That is also the day I learned not to handle her after feeding.. regurgitated fish isn't so cool..
