This was Georges' Time Out lol

In order to get my hognose to eat on a regular basis, I've done a variation of this. I put him in the deli cup with his fuzzy mouse. Then I put the deli cup back into his tub. I can leave him for several hours if needed, knowing he's securely locked in, still kept very warm. It's worked the last three weeks.

Did Jason give you that tip, Theresa? He told me to do that with Hermes when he wouldn't eat when I first got him. It didn't work with Hermes...he got too nervous...but I figured out a kind of variation on it that worked for him. I always put his food down on a little plastic lid and then put his hide over the lid...then I put him in the hide with the food. It always works...he stays in there until he eats.

Yay George He ate his pinkie mouse and half a worm last night! Good boy George!

I think Babs is almost as long as George is, just not as wide... Babs is going to be big I think, George is 10-11 months old Babs is only 7 months old (I think, don't have my phone with the date saved here) Babs is around 16" where as George is around 17"-18". He is twice as wide as she is though.

Good job George!

Well, I'm going to leave George with another mouse n see if he eats it during the day while I'm gone at work. I'll leave him some worms too... He seems to like worms.

Seeley is on a "I'm only going to eat worms" kick now. Little stinker! He just has to make it difficult for me when I have a nice bag of frozen pinkies in the freezer and what is left of my worms are dying. I just ordered some good worm bedding and worm food and a nice container for them...with the help of Steve, though. Now I have to go buy some more worms when the stuff gets here. Luckily, Seeley is getting ready to shed...so he won't eat for a few more days.

Well I have been happy with Georges attitude as of late, he has been eating better and he settles down a lot sooner then before when handling him. He has got some girth back and hangs out in the open most of the time now. Good boy George.

Babs is doing good as is expected lol Yesterday my Momma in-law came over, I love my Momma in-law, and Babs wouldn't stop staring at her lol She just couldn't figure out this new person sitting near her! Momma moved to the side, Babs head followed! It was cute. I explained that they can recognize my face n that Babs was probably wondering who she was. Momma looked at Babs, smiled, waved, said 'Hi I'm Anita, nice to meet you', then she couldn't help laughing (she was talking to a snake, What a crazy thing to do) And I swear Babs acknowledged her, then went curled up on her rock, and just observed us casually, rather than staring at Momma.

So far it hasn't seemed to me that my snakes like anyone but me...they jump and hide when anyone else in my family passes by the tanks. But interestingly, when my mother has been helping to hold Cee Cee when I give her the injections for her RI, she has not musked my mother or tried to bite her like she does with the vet and the vet techs.

[Light of Dae]

Well your mom probably don't smell like the vets and hasn't tried using the "OH MY GOSH IT"S SUCH A DANGEROUS AND VENOMOUS SNAKE!!!!!!" Grip on Cee Cee either. So I think Cee Cee has a slightly higher opinion then someone who sticks like vet tech n reminds her of the "OH MY GOSH IT"S SUCH A DANGEROUS AND VENOMOUS SNAKE!!!!!!" Grip. So I think your moms okay if she can avoid those two things.
