Here's Chillie

[user 270]

Well after being a member of APS for around a year, I finaly got my first snake. But it's not a Diamond.

Meet Chillie. A childreni I bought fom Afro yesterday.

And yes, unlike the pics of the diamond I held (now deleted off Photobucket), this is my hand. :lol:

She love to hide around her rock, completely ignoring her toilet roll hide.

Enjoy! I know I do!

Good on you Wombat, and many more to come!!!! Although Chillie should try patches, as smoking is such a dirty habit!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! She's a sweetie. And I love her name. Looks like you've got lots of fun things for her to play on in her enclosure too

The rock is there to hold down the thermostat probe and one of the thermometer probs (she's climbing on the rock as I type). She also has a bird ladder. She was trying to escape within half an hour of putting her in the tub by climbing up the thermometer probe lead and checking out the ventilation slots.

It's tucker time tomorrow (Wednesday), so that is going to be fun.

Exactly right. Afro is just like Bunnings - Expert Advice at the right price. lol.

Well done wombat. I'll let you know when I'm up Horsham way next and I'll bring her sister and 1 year old brother to meet her over to meet her. lol

Thanks for the complements.

As for her first feed in my care, good and bad news. The good news is that she ate 2 pinkies. The bad news is that I didn't get any usable pics of her feeding (all out of focus).

congo, I'm thinking of buying her a deeper water bowl of about the same diameter. The one she has now was bought as a water bowl from the Salvo's. I don't smoke.

Hey Wombat, I'm glad you took that one mate, she is the best of the clutch and you are doing a top job of looking after her Don't worry about a new water bowl, I reckon that one holds just the right amount for that enclosure. Wait until she is big enough to need a new enclosure then she can have new furniture to go with her new home That's quite a few months down the track by the way so you have plenty of time to plan it all
Well done mate, I am glad you like her

 

[user 270]

Thanks for the advice on the water bowl. That has saved me about $8.00. But I think I need a new thermometer. The one I have is reading all over the place. :evil:
