Delilah the checkered garter.

Might be getting a little ahead of myself but I'm already working on some stuff for her next upgrade enclosure once she hits about 2' plus. Figure if I start now I should easily have it done in a year and honestly it's already going pretty fast lol. The long term goal for this is to house at least a few females in absolute luxury. http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/encl...tml#post263712

Delilah figured out the climbing bit today. Woke up and found her basking at the top of her vine canopy.



I was honestly somewhat surprised by that though as I had half given up on her using the top there and positioned her basking lamp to where it hit her hide sitting on the L hand side shelf. The canopy was also catching enough of the side of that lamp though to also hit perfect basking temp and she seemed to enjoy being up there.

Looking good.

Maybe I should give my snake a somewhat elevated area...

She has definitely been more active since I switched things up.

lol You know, you're really good at making enclosures. I could make stuff, I'd be copying you. I really enjoy keeping up with these threads to see how Delilah reacts to all the little bells and whistles type things in her home.

Yeah, she really is living it up since her wild days. Queen Delilah. Haha.

[Rushthezeppelin]

Just trying to make her as happy as possible. Pretty sure it's working

[Albert Clark]

You are doing a great job with her. I am sure she is happy.

Got her to take down a whole pink today. Tried without scenting, no go. Then I decided I was gonna make a large feeding hide for her out of a sloppy joe container. Put a little window in it for me to see. Scented up the pink with some fish and she kept looking at me funny. Got her started feeding with a small worm chunk...still nada. Finally I turned her hide opening away from me for about 20. And of course miss self conscious finally eats her pinky I'm gonna try unscented with privacy next time and see if she goes for it.

She wanted to be photographed today. She's really starting to darken back up again, I'm guessing in the next week to week and a half she will be in blue, no signs on her eyes yet though.
