Looks like I've got to come up with a name that ends with an "O" eh? Then again mine doesn't have the black nose so I might be exempt!
In unrelated news, I had my 'gu outside in the yard wandering around and he stuck his head into some grass... I figured he was just trying to dig into it. That's when I saw him do that oh-so-familiar striking move that he does to his mice and ground turkey... he then withdraws his head from the grass with a small snake trapped in his jaws. There was literally nothing I could do, before I could even react to it he had slurped the poor thing down like a spaghetti noodle.
I'm a little concerned about parasites as a result so I guess I'm going to have to pay really close attention to his bowel movements to make sure there's nothing shawshanking it's way through his digestive tract =/

Bee is going strong. He ate 5 fuzzies and 4 chicken hearts today. I think he might have eaten a little more if I had it out. Lol! He shed today and I took a bunch of pictures. I will be getting them up for the 10/29, 4 month old aniversary. He is about 31-32 inches I think. He's a beast
Cleo skipped another meal today, the brat. She was up at 9 as normal, and I reached in around 11 to help her start shedding her tail, but WHAM by FOUR O CLOCK she was down!
I opened her cage and talked to her mulch for a few minutes to see if I could get her to come out and nothing. Little brat.
But atleast she'll finish most of her turkey tomorrow.

I don't know what the early bed time was about today....it was nice and sunny out. Usually on good weather days, she's up longer.
Maybe she was jealous. I got a pair of Gargoyles today, so she's not the baby anymore. I will make sure to mess with her tomorrow then. She gets so bossy with me if I don't handle her.
Not aggressive, bossy. Like, I will reach in and pet her, and she gives me this look the whole time, and as soon as I pull my hand out she gets up and walks away from me and hides by her driftwood like "hmmph. I don't have to be touched by you."

nero is still going stong too he eats twice a day and i measured him today and he came in at 31" wow 3" in two weeks; he also has decided that telapia is now his favorite food he followed me around the bedroom once he smelled the telapia in my hand this week in moving him up to adult mice im more confident now that he can take one with no trouble , his appetite has been crazy lately its increasing he ate a whole telapia fillet plus a large amount of ground beef/turkey, chicken liver and gizzards he was so stuffed he looked like he might burst lol
Here's a couple new pictures of Cleo. She's growing like a weed still--I have NO idea how. She always has food left over---hm, but I DO offer more than I know she will eat. Annnnnd it takes her like 12 seconds to swallow a rat fuzzy now. 
And for the very invested, a video, shot today, the 27th.

Well you guys know what today is. Here's Zero hasn't shed any but thats because he's slow. He's grown maybe about an inch but no shed. ALL of my reptile's have gone through a shed this week but not Zero.
He's starting to eat thankfully. I've turned the warmth up at night so he doesnt think its winter. I went out and bought a third heat lamp to put my red night bulb in and that warms the place up good. So i have two heat lamps for the day (150 watt Power sun, and 75 watt heat bulb plus the uvb bulb in the back) And a 150watt red night bulb for night time.
Look how thin he is since he stoped eating and slowed down

Bee is still going strong. He ate 5 fuzzies and 2 chicken gizzards and alittle turkey yesterday. Today he ate just turkey, the equivalent of the size of 3 adult mice. He seemed a bit slow today though. Lol! I took new pics of him with a real camera and uploaded them to my computer. I can't figure out how to get them small enough in kb's to get them on here. I will though. He is about 31" long.
They are 4 months old now. How old before they are not considered babies anymore?

He's going nuts trying to get out of the shirt now that he burried himself in it.
