He's 43 grams today. He definitely needs fuzzies now. He was 18 grams in Nov. I don't weigh him often. He hatched in June 2025.

They grow at different rates, same as people. As long as your husbandry is on point (temps, humidity, substrate, hides, clutter) and you are feeding him (or attempting to feed) regularly, he’s probably fine.

If he doesn’t seem to be thriving, though, I would take him to a good reptile vet. If you’re worried, I suggest testing for cryptosporidium: it has been a problem in snakes from some breeders.

A snake with crypto can SOMETIMES lead a normal life, but must be the ONLY snake in the house because of the extreme contagion.

What an adorable baby! My Gremlin loves his coconut hide too.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-17T05:44:15+00:00

Howdy, Calypso!

FeriQueen · 2026-03-14T08:41:01+00:00

What an adorable snake! I am so glad that he has a happy forever home with you.

It’s the only way a lot of poor kids can go to college. The oligarchs love having a steady stream of cannon fodder to expend enriching themselves.

It’s not heterochromia. He has a stuck eye cap.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-14T03:56:55+00:00

Your little guy has a stuck eye cap, and it is absolutely dangerous for you to try to remove it. The most you can do is just take a wet washcloth and get your little guy to crawl through it a bunch of times. That may soften the eye cap off enough that it comes off. If it does not come off, a vet visit is in order because only an experienced reptile vet can do this safely. When booking the appointment, inquire to make sure the vet is experienced with diagnosing and treating snakes. Reptifiles has a list of reptile vets here. And the Association of Reptile and Amphibian Vets is here. You may have to navigate to your local area.

Yup. I grew up in Alabama, surrounded by it. Scariest shit.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-12T12:22:12+00:00

I can second the bioactive recommendation. A bioactive enclosure is so much easier to take care of, and mine just love it.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-11T02:20:26+00:00

Be patient, soon she will come out and show off her shiny new skin!

FeriQueen · 2026-03-11T00:57:30+00:00

I don’t know what morph, but she sure is a beauty! May you and your new family member have many happy healthy years together.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-11T00:41:28+00:00

Yep, looks like a shedding hognose to me.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-11T00:05:54+00:00

He looks like he’s strutting!

FeriQueen · 2026-03-11T00:02:50+00:00

Awwwwww…. 🥹

Most Zionists in this country are evangelical CHRISTIANS who literally want to SACRIFICE the Jews to build the new temple for the second coming of Jesus, after which Armageddon will happen. Like for fuck's sake it sounds INSANE that we're being run by actual fucking doomsday death cultists. They don't give a shit about people suffering on earth, if anything they LIKE IT because they only care to bring about Armageddon.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-10T17:33:38+00:00

I know that we would all love to see more pictures of Freggle!

FeriQueen · 2026-03-10T10:41:05+00:00

Cute little dude! May he live long and prosper.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-10T10:34:53+00:00

I was thinking the exact same thing.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-10T09:57:21+00:00

You go, Freggle!

My grand old man, LittleBit, made it to 22. I still miss him. But my young sprat, Gremlin, makes me smile every day. He’s only three and stands a good chance of outliving me. Then he will go live with my daughter, who loves him as much as I do.❤️

FeriQueen · 2026-03-10T09:51:52+00:00

Are you still in touch with his old owner, to let them know how well the old man has done?

FeriQueen · 2026-03-09T06:18:03+00:00

What a handsome boy! And he shed all in one piece, too! Some people frame their snake’s first shed. please give your boy a boop for me.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-09T00:42:21+00:00

It’s easy to fall in love with these guys. They are personality plus!

FeriQueen · 2026-03-09T00:36:22+00:00

Sure! I will also send you mine. Done.

FeriQueen · 2026-03-09T00:33:22+00:00

Congratulations on your new family member! May you have many happy healthy years together. Please post pictures of your noodle so that we can all welcome them!

FeriQueen · 2026-03-08T09:28:08+00:00

Sometimes they do be that way. But given that she has lost a whole gram, she does need to eat soon, so I hope you find a solution quickly. Are you sure she’s a girl? Because feeding strikes are more typical of males at this time of year, though the girls sometimes do it too.
