What is your food/feeding schedule?

I like Casper

1 large night crawler a day 2 if she still searches in the evening. Towards the end of the month she starts waning and eats less to nothing 5-7 days before next shed. Like today she was out of her cave and I put a worm in and now almost 8 PM and she hasn't touched it. So I think she's going into that phase again. Her skin is kinda cloudy so that's probably what's going on. It will be shed #11 since Oct. 23rd 2011

Wow Casper's looking good!

Something's striking me as very strange. The growth you've gotten out of that snake is just unheard of for a northwestern. I've never had one grow that fast. Hmmm...

That's what I was thinking

Instead of everyday you might go to 2-3 times a week.
Casper isn't going to like it but it's best. Thought Casper was looking a little chunky.
Northwesterns (T.ordinoides) are eating machines and will eat everyday if you let them. Just don't let them.

Attachment 6066you can see a pipe to the left side of the curb where the driveway slopes then at the entry of the home walking up to door is a walkway under the number 120 is a bush. Ok with all that in mind summertime I saw a normal dark color medium in size go under that bush while I was weeding it freaked me out so much I quit weeding for the day. Fast forward to Oct. 23rd. at the bottom of the walkway while decorating for Halloween about 3 feet from that pipe at the curb I saw Casper. Like I said I thought at first she was a kids halloween decoration but she moved. She was so little and light in color and for some reason didn't scare me so I picked her up and I put her into a tupperware container until I got to the pet store and that's where the story starts.

Being that time of year, this is apparently where some northwesterns choose to spend the winter. It is highly probable that there are relatives of casper that den here. If you breed her to one from this same location, there's a chance that the male could also carry the albino gene (he could be a het) and maybe produce albinos.

Snakes tend to den in the same place every year, and spend their lives in a relatively small area. If snakes from this location produced an albino, they could do it again, and many of the "normal" looking snakes could be carrying the gene.

Just wanted to let you know the photo on the bottom that says attached thumbnails is very old just attached it and couldn't deleate it for some reason so don't worry nothing is wrong with caspers mouth she used to pucker like that day or two before she shed. I haven't had time to watch for it lately so I don't know if she still does it. I just leave her alone when she goes into shed mode now this photo was from several months back.
