My Friend Flicker

[Flicker]

I decided to make my own thread for when I want to post about my snake. *ahem* That wasn't in the "hello lounge" or the "what gender is my snake" post. ^_^ If this isn't the right spot to put this, please move it.

Flicker shed today and is back in his beautiful red colors - and of course... HUNGRY - cause he doesn't eat for a week or two before shedding. So, I fed him a slug - he turned his nose up at wild caught salmon. :-/

Here he is - in an awesome shot of consuming a rather large slimey beastie!

That's how snakey is, He turns his nose to worms now and will only eat a pinky. Mamas a pig and will eat pinkies or worms. Haha. Flicker is a darn cute snake He looks like he's enjoying his fine little delicacy

Are you sure you're going to be able to stand not having him for a little while? I might have to brumate him for a couple of months starting in late Oct. if we're going through with the mating to my red stripe girl. We might get lucky and they'll mate just by simulating the fall season though. I'm thinking we can give that a try after she has her current babies.

Flicker is so funny - cause he can be hard to get to eat sometimes... but after shedding - zomg - what an absolute pig he can be... just gorges himself.

WOW!!! He is so gorgeous

[ConcinusMan]

Yes he is, and he looks to be a good healthy weight. Don't worry about his occasional not wanting to eat. That's pretty typical of northwesterns, including the feeding frenzy after shedding. My red stripe girl can't wait to meet him!

Wow. flicker Is being a pretty snake right now.
