June 9,2003: Raven ate her 2 hoppers this week. She ate them SOOO fast, that I barely turned around from getting the stuff from her tank and she had them BOTH down!!! After cleaning up her tank I put her back. Champ didn't eat one of his fuzzies, so I put it in her tank in front of her hide. I was watching Ruby finish her hoppers up and just caught the head of the fuzzy disappear into her hide. LOL
June 15,2003: She was blue today. She didn't eat because of it. Just sniffed around a little and hid under the paper towel in her feed tank.
June 18,2003: She shed today. A perfect one peice shed!! She looks SOOO amazing after shed :))).
June 23,2003: Some how I wound up with an extra rat pup today??? Anyway, I gave it to Raven since she didn't eat last week and since I already put the other little ones back. She ate all 3 rat pups!!! Still a pig!!!
June 29,2003: She ate 2 rat pups this week. I tried giving her the one Ruby didn't eat, but she wasn't interested.
July 5,2003: Well, this week I wound up one rat short? I put her in after Ruby was done with hers and she ate the half of one Ruby didn't. So that's 1 1/2. LOL
July 13,2003: She shed last night, and I didn't even see her turn blue!!! She ripped it right behind the head part. I took a look at her and it LOOKS like she broke 2 scales right behind her head too. She has 2 bright white spots that weren't there before. I guess I have to keep an eye on her for a little while till I'm sure what it is. She ate 3 rat pinks, because Ruby didn't eat one of hers.
July 20,2003: She ate 2 rat pinks this week.
July 27,2003: I gave them their fill this week to get rid of the rat pinks. Raven ate 4!!! She still has her appetite!!!
Aug. 3,2003: Well, the rat pups were a little too big for her : (. She tried swallowing one and spit it back out. She ignored them after that.
Aug. 5,2003: I went and got some rat pinks at the pet store today. Raven ate her's and the mouse pink that Bandit didn't eat.
Aug. 13,2003: She ate 2 rat hoppers today. I gave her the one Ruby didn't eat and hers of course ; ). She started shedding right after she finished them up. I put her in her tank and misted it to help with shedding. Well she shed OK, just had it all wrapped up around her climbing branch.
Aug 19,2003: She ate just one rat hopper this week. At least she's eating!!!
Aug. 25,2003: She ate one F/T rat hopper again. I think next time I'll try giving her 2. She was still roaming after I put her back in her tank.I noticed her spots on her belly are starting to turn darker after her last shed!
Most of them actually look brown instead of white now. There are still a few bright white ones though.
Oct. 2,2003: Been awhile since I updated because of what happened to Angel. Well, I offered her a rat hopper this week but she didn't want it. So, I gave her the live mouse hopper Phoenix didn't eat.She had it down almost as soon as it hit the ground! I measured her Sept. 4th and she measured out at 28" and .78" thick.
Oct. 4,2003: She really made a pig of herself today. I gave her a F/T rat hopper, a rat pink Ruby didn't eat and a pinky mouse Bandit didn't eat. Well, she cleaned house!!!
Oct. 25,2003: I haven't update lately because I've been having computer problems. Anyway, she didn't eat this week. She looked like she was starting to turn blue though. I weighed her last week, and she weighed in at 174 grams.
Nov. 1,2003: She didn't shed yet? I must've been mistaken. Anyway, she didn't eat either.
