Meet Kable

[Psyrocke]

Super cute!

Thanks! Well, he hasn't taken any noms but I think it was because he was too full! He pooped twice yesterday (on my boyfriend haha) and then at some point between when I left him and went back to see if he had eating the pinkie I was trying. I think the next try in a few days (Saturday) might have a better outcome! I also know Kingsnakes just like to be like this and finicky haha but until then lets all look at his cuteness!

Almost got his tongue here, this is just before he stuck it out at me ^

A flash brings out his black so nicely, but also makes him more yellow than he really is ^

After 3 weeks (and two! poops) it seems that Kable has settled and finally taken a meal! Ugh, it feels good seeing he has taken the meal. I wasn't stressed about it, because I did my research and knew that sometimes Kingsnakes just don't want food..but its just still nice when they do!

With a flash hence the yellow-ness. This is about 2 minutes after I had put in the pinkie, he had started to uncoil from under his towel under his hide.

Same picture without flash.

@Enn49 Look! I got it (his tongue which is kinda camouflaging into his tail) He has definitely settled in and is now eating no problems which is a great feeling/

 

[Enn49]

Well done, I said you'd get that photo eventually and I'm so pleased to hear that he's feeding well now.

 

[Psyrocke]

You did. Yeah, he took his second meal like a champ. Probably within 15 minutes of me putting it in there post changing his towel. And that was when there was a lot of activity as we were moving stuff in and there was people in and out.

He's such a pretty little thing. love the little tongue flick ^^

Ugh, yes! He's so cutes! And handsome. Yeah its a good one. I got lucky haha.

 

[Psyrocke]

I held Kable the other day for the first time since I got him. I had my boyfriend take pictures. And I also have a picture of him being silly.

He settled right in to my hands. Still not a huge fan of my boyfriend but getting better.

He kept moving his paper towel. I gave him a new one because he's silly.

 

[Enn49]

@Psyrocke He's so cute. If I was you I'd swap the paper towel for fine beech chip for substrate. It makes cleaning much easier as all you need do is remove the soiled bit without having to empty all his décor out.

 

[Psyrocke]

Right now he has only a small amount of decor, and I usually don't have to swap twice a week. I just swap post poop. This is the first time he's bunched up his towel. If he does it again, I will maybe do that, if I can find it. I can't seem to recall seeing fine substrate.

 

[Enn49]

@Psyrocke If you can't find the beech chip, you can use aspen (http://www.petco.com/shop/en/petcostore/zilla-aspen-lizard-litter).

 

[Psyrocke]

Sadly, there is not a Petco near me (yet). July 25th it opens. But I'll double check my LPS in case I was just blind or he's renewed his inventory which he does frequently.

 

[Kymura]

He is so pretty, seriously. If I had the funds I'd get one
(reverse striped, then I'd name it Generic)

Thanks! And haha, clever idea. He wasn't as pricey as I was expecting him to be as a "specialty" morph. Also, now that he is eating amazingly, look how big he's become:

My boyfriend and I are expecting signs of a shed end of this month, beginning next. He was fed Saturday, and pooped at some point Monday, these photos were taken post clean up, hence the exploration.

Also as a note @Kymura the flash makes him more yellow than he is. If you go to the top of this thread, he is more that high white color to the naked eye.

 

[Psyrocke]

Some more photos of him taken this morning:

With flash

Without flash @Kymura; more what he looks like to naked eye.

 

[Kymura]

He's lovely either way

 

[Psyrocke]

Yes! He wanted to stick that tongue out at me in the bottom one but he didn't. He likes to pretend to be tough, then not be.

 

[Kymura]

I really do love his look hun, super glad for you having such a little beauty

 

[Psyrocke]

Thanks! Glad you like him. I'll try to post more pics so you can continue to look at his beautiful self.

 

[Psyrocke]

@Kymura more pics! Trying to burrow like substrate haha
