My Favorite Time Is?

A recent favourite happened two nights ago. Suzy's second feed after her 3 month fast. I've never seen so much drool!!!! It was like "I don't care what it is! It smells like food and I'm biting it and it's not getting away!!!"

Ember tends to eat more than Snap though She's always too busy acting really tough with her food while ember just takes it sweetly with the occasional nip on my finger. Snap always ends up biting me hard... Another reason for liking feeding time... My finger gets snake mouth massages every other day

Not so fun when you're dealing with a huge 3.2 foot female big enough to eat two adult mice, and a head twice the width of your thumb. Luckily that girl is very smart and considerate. She's always careful to assess the situation and calculate carefully so as not to bite me. She's very polite that way.

Babies tend to be compulsive, competitive, combative, and bite anything that smells like food but hey, that's good survival tactic if you think about it.

Yeah, I don't mind the finger massage with the babies, I wouldn't dare try it with Snakey though I already know he likes to attack anything that smells like food. I have fed Mama by hand and she gently takes it from me and is polite, when there's a pit of length between my hand and the food she strikes viciously. I'm not sure if I'd let snap eat out of my hand when she's older, she's such a show off. She bites my finger, pulls back, aims, strikes at the food and nips my finger again before "fighting" with her food and smacking it on the logs and finally... She swallows it and looks for more. I wish I could get a good video of it, it'd be a great action movie.

I have to change my favourite time to right now... Having Tiny sitting with me, sleeping on my leg. Nothing is cuter than a baby snake coiled up on my leg sleeping. Tiny is almost like Mama, loves being held and likes to sleep on me

Well guys, I had one of my favorite moments tonight. It's near time for lights out. everybody has full bellies and these three were sound asleep under the warmth of the basking lamp. They looked so content. So satisfied. After a few seconds, they became aware of my presence, woke up and simultaneously, they all looked up at me, looked me right in the eye, and paused. A favorite moment indeed.

I just wish they didn't have to grow up. They are doing so, faster than I care for. (12-15 inches now!) I guess I'll just have to see to it that my adults make more babies soon. It won't come soon enough and these few babies I kept are my only comfort at this time when my favorite adults are in deep sleep brumating. I miss them so much! I knew there was a reason that I didn't ship all of the babies out. I held back thinking I might regret it. I was wrong. I don't regret it. I'm glad I did keep a few.

Right after this pic was taken and they looked up at me, they scurried off to bed as if I they were kids that just got caught watching TV past bed time.
