    Re: My Favorite Time Is?

    Yeah, they played "how dare you miss feeding time 2 days in a row!" today. I broke my tooth, though so I couldn't feed them and it was getting infected... Couldn't feed anyone till tonight. I got bit more than 10 times in one minute. They were soooo hungry they couldn't even aim for the pretty large chunk of worm on my finger Got some video of them eating at least.

    Right after feeding time, once everyone is pigged out and hanging off of grapewood, looking lazy. I like sitting and watching them ooze around with full bellies.

    Yeah, I couldn't quite find the word to describe it but that fits the bill!

    My favorite time would have to be baby/young snake feeding time.
    Watching all the different personalities and eating styles develop. Having them come to me, wanting to be hand fed. Being used as a napkin after a piece of food was eaten.
    To come and rest on my arm after a good meal and their belly is full.
    Then to look in on them later and to see sleeping full snakes.

    I have to add something to this. I'm sure many of you have seen it.
    It's that yawn after eating. You know the one I'm talking about. Prolonged mouth open and with it they flex the upper lips.

    If they had arms and hands they'd be patting their bellies.

    Re: My Favorite Time Is?

    Yeah, I saw Ember do that for the first time today after eating some pieces of fuzzy it was going to be the meal for the big snakes but they rejected it so I cut it small and gave it to Ember and Snap (the only bottomless pits of all the babies ) Ember ate the most and was "oozing" around and did the cute little yawn before resting his head on a plant and basking. he's probably happy he learned how yummy pinkies are

    Yeah, I know that moment. It's quite amazing how they move their "lips". Not something you would normally expect a snake could do if you didn't know snakes all that well. I could almost swear that if they wanted to pucker for a kiss, they could. And hey, maybe even do impressions.

    Ember and snap - That's my babies! *bursting with pride*

    Yeah, they are bottomless pits. Their siblings that are still with me are the same way. Just awesome eaters and jeez, growing so fast!

    Re: My Favorite Time Is?

    Yep, they're such bottomless pits that they nip my finger all the time because they want food. Ember has the biggest appetite, but he's huge compared to Snap.

    Re: My Favorite Time Is?

    I wonder how that happened. They were nearly the same size when I sent them. Well, I guess ember was always a bit bigger. They are siblings though, born at the same time and born about the same size

    (Ember head left, snap head right)

    But hey, some of the 3 stripe one's I have left are outpacing the single striped one's even though they all eat about the same. You just can't figure who's going to grow bigger or faster regardless of how they eat.

    But anyway, we're losing focus here. I'd love to hear about other people's favorite moments and of course, pics of those moments are even better!
