Jen snagged this little BOY (thought you wanted to know Sara :D ) from Bruce and Sara on her adventure. Pretty calm dude for a gopher... at least for now... :lmao: Thanks Sara and Bruce! :cheers:

Sara, you created a little monster! I went to feed him last night and he would not eat until I put him into a deli. What the hell am I gonna do when he is 5ft long and still wanting to eat in a deli? :lmao:

He ate a rat pup like a champ and is about to shed. I will get some better pics up once he sheds.

LOL!!!! Yeah, that happens sometimes, I really am sorry!! We've told people before that sometimes if you just put the food into the deli and then into the cage they'll smell the plastic and go in there and get it!:lmao::lmao::lmao:
(Yeah, our snakes go into feed mode from the deli smell instead of rodent smell!:lmao:)

It comes from having so many. We never feed in cage so that they don't get a feed response to the door opening. Door opens, food comes in. Door opens, food comes in. Door opens, hand comes in and gets bit. We can't spend enough hands on time with them all, so yeah, deli cup!:cheers:

(OH! And even our monsters get taken out to eat! We just use a bigger tub, like those christmas tree plastic tubs for some of them, lmao!)

Yeah I know I used to do the same thing. In fact, I do with the baby corns. I keep the entire clutch in a 15 qt and separate them to feed them. Was doing that this morning!
I had to give you a hard time though! :D

Hey Ron! I pulled a good one... I bought a female for ya. Pretty little girl, lots of nice orange, good size, etc. Then Bruce looked at her, asked if that was the one I bought for you, shook his head and walked away. I asked him why and he said "Because Ron's is a Sonoran. This is a Great Basin. You got the wrong one." So... the search continues, and yet again I should have been born blonde. I'm sorry!:o:cheers:
(Still love me anyway though, right???? Lil bit? Just to be able to laugh at me at least??)
