Feeding with flair.

[Cleo and Tash]

(drumroll) My 6 month old honey jungle python, Tash, finally fed last night after 9 weeks of stress and worry!
And what a hoot it was! She was lying on her vine so I "walked"the mouse up to her, she struck at it and immediately wrapped herself around it. Mission accomplished I think.
Then she hangs down from the vine with the mouse still in her jaws and commences to eat whilst hanging upside down! It took her nearly 15 minutes but the whole feed was done upside down.
When she'd finished she gave me the royal burp (I know she's repositioning her jaws but my kids reckon she's burping) and then slinked back to her cave. Show over.
Now I can back to worrying about "normal"things.......

always good to see, puts your mind at ease, if you dont mind, how much did you pay for your "honey" jungle?

[da_donkey]

congrats, thats fantastic.

[Cleo and Tash]

Hornet,
Tash cost me $595. She's a beautiful looking snake but her personality at the moment leaves a lot to be desired.

[hornet]

geez, thats alot, i would have gone for a nice b&g lol. But how can people charge almost $600 for a "honey" jungle

[Cleo and Tash]

And he did it with a smile on his face! Being new to the reptile game I suppose he saw me coming...

[hornet]

yea, alot of people do that, petstores are a good place for newbies to get snagged. You will find some awsome breeders on here

[Cleo and Tash]

Good to know. Thanx.

[hornet]

so, got yourself a wishlist yet?

[Cleo and Tash]

Yeah....Hugh Jackman, a holiday in Italy, a weekend without the kids.....or did you mean snakes?

[hornet]

lol that will do

[Cleo and Tash]

Seriously, I have a diamond python and the honey so that will have to do for now. Wouldn't mind a bearded dragon though. Know anything about them?
