View attachment 233461"Angel", our first snake.
This is the best picture I could get, she wouldn't stay still. I'll try again soon. She is a Tanami Woma yearling and we have had her for 10 days. She seems to have settled very well. Very easy to handle, not jumpy. Had her first feed of 2 little fuzzy rats, she didn't strike so we left them in with her and she gave them a few prods then ate them both bum first!
I think she may be a bit underweight, she seems skinny for her length (approx 50cm) I have not weighed her yet though. She also seems a bit loose skinned and had shed the day before we got her so not due for a while. Anyone got any advise to feed her up? is it ok to feed her more often than weekly, as long as she has pooped?

Cheers!

I think you'll be surprised how quickly she'll put on weight and size, especially if you're feeding 2 fuzzies at a time. I wouldn't think you'd need to feed more than once a week. Although this is just my personal (rather limited) experience, doe anyone else have any other thoughts?
Lovely snake, by the way.
 
I don't feed any of mine more than once a week and now they are older I am in the process of reducing them to once a fortnight. Mine went from your size to about a metre in one year, in fact probably over a metre, haven't measured them for a while. Plus, I was only feeding one fuzzy at a time at that size, so I wouldn't worry too much about her size.
 
Couple of crappy iPhone pics.

Thank you kaotikjezta and blackstik. That puts me more at ease :)
I have weighed and measured her today. She is longer than I thought at 69cm and weighs 118g. She is due for a feed tomorrow and I'll continue with 2 fuzzies weekly for now unless anyone can tell me if her weight is low for her length?
 
My little guy is 89 cm and around 200gm so youd be around the mark, having just had his first birthday (hatchday??!) on the 4th on Jan. They are a pretty slender snake as well so don't be too worried.
 
Nice snakes everyone. Here is my boodarie pair, you may remember this pair Jason, unsucessful last season i think she may of been a little young but fingers crossed for this year. Father over daughter should produce some crakers

This is my Tanami, Jake!!! He's a yearling. Has him since he was about 6 weeks old. XD He's gorgeous, amusing, personable, inquisitive - all the reasons I went for the Woma. Couldn't recommend a better snake! I'm still waiting for him to go Mr Hyde on me at feed-time but it hasn't happened yet! Plenty of growing to do though....:p
