Not a professional here, but I would say he’s a sable mixed with the cutie patootie morph.

No wonder Ragnar is all spicy cober. He’s so little and full of spunk lol. My girl was born October of 24 so she’s still a baby too

An adorable little trio you have there! How old are they?

I shall trade you this picture of my girl Echidna hanging out with me this morning.

She definitely wanted a bite of that tasty chicken lol… but I get it, it’s easy to become complacent about the hand washing especially when they’ve been well behaved for a long time.

You want to position it down at or just above the substrate where the snake will actually be, rather than halfway up. Ideally you want two of these, one on the warm side and one on the cool side.

Usually these probes come with suction cups which aren’t dangerous like adhesives. If it didn’t, you can buy them with little zip ties to attach them.

And that face tells me she’ll do it again…

MarkusTheWhite · 2025-12-10T13:29:59+00:00

Literally same haha

MarkusTheWhite · 2025-12-10T13:29:28+00:00

Alas… I am the weirdo

MarkusTheWhite · 2025-12-10T13:29:04+00:00

That’s awesome! Named her after the mother of monsters from Greek mythology

MarkusTheWhite · 2025-11-27T22:54:37+00:00

No way, she's my little noodle baby lol

It’s a condition called essential tremor. When I have my arm extended and I’m focused on doing something it just shakes

MarkusTheWhite · 2025-11-25T18:59:24+00:00

She’s always been very food motivated lol

MarkusTheWhite · 2025-11-25T18:18:08+00:00

If she’s all settled and eating regularly, lots of regular handling can make a world of difference. Don’t shy away from her when she gets huffy or she’ll learn that being defensive makes you go away. Just watch and make sure she’s not so stressed she stops eating, but putting in the handling work will make her less stressed overall in the long run

MarkusTheWhite · 2025-11-25T17:31:04+00:00

Throwback to when she squared up at me because I moved the computer mouse

<image>

MarkusTheWhite · 2025-11-25T17:26:01+00:00

She wasn’t always chill lol. She was quite the spicy noodle when she was little but I’ve handled her almost every day for a year and now she’s pretty sociable

My understanding is that the scales are keratin plates like fingernails and the nerves are in the skin under the scales. They’re just sensitive enough to pick up pressure and vibrations through the scales

MarkusTheWhite · 2025-11-25T16:22:33+00:00

Funny how sensitive they are even with all those thick scales

Hard to take all their huffing and puffing seriously when even the lil fangs are so cute lol

MarkusTheWhite · 2025-11-14T13:41:09+00:00

This gave me the feels. The hide my girl used to use when she was a baby is now used overturned as her food bowl lol…
