Figment - Our Hypo Lavender Corn Baby

[dakski]

Yeah. He’s a big boy. 5ft and about 650g. Big corn. However. He’s lean and, well, like all my other reptiles, docile.

I feed every two weeks now and he’s maintained about that weight for about a year.

I don't think he understands what he did wrong. It will probably never happen again either.

However. He is on time out and went to bed without a mouse dinner (he ate Sunday though, so I’m not exactly being cruel).

I meant monster as in - evil monster for poo'ing where he shouldn't

Oh, yeah! That too!!!!

I am surprised he got as big is he did though. Seperate issue, huh.

LOL!

At this point, Katie has posted the Figment poop story on Facebook, explained it in great detail to her mother, and guilted me quite a bit . She seems to think it's funny now, which is good. I am glad she can laugh at it. I felt so incredibly terrible.

That really did make me smile,poor Katie at least she found it funny eventually

I can remember in the early 80's when I had my grey rat snake my little brother had her out and her went down his pyjama too and messed absolutely everywhere,boy did I laugh as he was heaving his guts up trying to get washed,
She may want to check for sausage butt before the next handling, lollllll

Figment shed, and pooped, last night; in the cage this time!

He looks sharp and is holding about 650G. Sorry for the somewhat blurry pictures, especially around his head. I took about 15 photos and these were the best ones (with the iPhone granted). He will not hold still to save his life! Friendly as anything, but a mover!

Figment stretched out on my lap and then some. He's a big boy.

Thanks El-Ziggy!

My collection is full at 8 reptiles. I had to be careful with all my picks. Glad you appreciate my taste!

If you haven't, check out Solana's (my Scaleless Sunglow Motley Red Factor Corn) thread from today. Took some pictures in daylight today and she is stunning.

Pictures don't do Figment justice. First, he has purple eyes! I can never capture that well with a photo. Not that he would stay still long enough anyway! He's a mover; a total sweetheart, but a mover! Secondly, the subtle nuance in his pinks and purples never capture on photos. Finally, his coloring is not "flat." Phillydubs was over this past weekend and was blown away with the marbling/coraling in his pattern and colors. He is full of nuance and needs to be seen to be appreciated.

He's also just a really cool dude. Moves, but easy to handle, and never defensive or aggressive, just curious, and a little ADHD. He has skipped one meal for me in almost 5 years as well (he was in shed and I didn't know and offered a weaned rat as opposed to a mouse which is all he's ever eaten). So he's a champ!

Katie has come a long way, but she can't help it, with a good influence like you & so many cool pets to practice on.

My Florida rat snakes are feisty-feeders that wrap & roll too. I know exactly what you mean, they'll even fall out of branches when they grab the prey, like
nothing else matters. Some snakes are MUCH scarier to feed than others are...some are very polite (like most Trans Pecos). Keeps it interesting.
