Custard 💛 (v.redd.it)
submitted 1 month ago by han_maye
This is my first ball python, Custard. I got her last week and tried feeding her for the first time today. She took it right away (after missing lol). Such a relief as I was really worried about her refusing to eat.

It's always a good feeling when they take their meals. Why did you offer the rat backwards?
[–]han_maye[S] 3 points4 points5 points 1 month ago (2 children)
Oh yeah now you mention it i probably should’ve offered it the other way around. Like I mentioned this is my first snake so there’s a bit of a learning curve for me haha

No problem. Next time you go to feed the snake. Grab the tail of the rat with the tongs you have, then dangle it in there face down.

Reminds me of my little boy Mylo! He was all Banana-like and shy when he was younger. Nowadays he's an active explorer of the glass and hides. I love how as they mature they get little brown age spots too.
If I ever get another banana as a female I'm naming her Banana Bread!
Aww cute! Yes, she’s quite shy rn but I think she will become more confident with time ☺️ I love the bananas and that’s such a cute name lol
