Hi,
so, its not real easy to google this so I thought I'd risk starting a new thread.
Last night I was checking my girl, and gave her a pat, and she bit me (she's never bitten in the two years I've had her) and then followed me across the tank to stare at me out the glass. IDK. I just knew she was hungry, so I grabbed a mouse for her and warmed it up. She took it immediately, and vanished into her favourite hide with it.
Just now (approx. 14 hours later) I sat down to ask her if she was feeling better (yes lol. really) and she kept staring at me and she was tight in a way that I just took to mean she was hungry again, so I got her another mouse, and she took it right away. Once she'd vanished with it back into her hide, I was able to grab the shed I spotted beside the hide, and drag it out.
It was whole, but it also contained a freaking gross lump that was definitely at one point last night's mouse. The stench was awful lmao (it was hidden right beside her hide, so under the heat). I tossed it in the garden outside lol.
She wasn't showing any signs of shedding when I fed her last night, but I'd also previously been away for 3 days so there is that to consider.
Previously she's been finicky with eating since winter, mostly only taking a mouse every 20-30 days. Apparently we're back to wanting to eat more frequently, lol. Prior to last night/today her last meal was on the 18th, so a week and a half ago.
Is this in any way normal? She's never bit before, but that was definitely a hungry strike as she expressed no fear or agression last night or today, so I'm not worried about that. But pooping in her shed is both gross and new and I just wanted to make sure it wasn't something to stress about.
Nyissa tax:
(that's her sauna she's resting her chin on. She's a real princess and needs really high humidity or she sheds in pieces, lmao. Her actual water is at the other end of the tank)
