She is a special snake.

That labeling of the labials is great!
This would be a great picture to link to from the info and care sheets page or whenever the 'what is it question' comes up and people start talking about counting scales.

Shyblue was fed first today. She downed 5 large scented night crawlers and 2 pieces of tilapia.
I was also able to reach in a rub her back with no attention paid to me and I did see some aggressive feeding behavior from her.
As I offered a piece of fish a large radix stepped in and tried to grab it. Shyblue pushed that radix aside and took the fish.
It happened in the blink of an eye but seeing her response made me feel good.
She's doing so well.
