Hey John its good to see you on my humble forum,lol
At the minute the forum is quite, as you can see, but if I need any help in the future I will be sure to let you know.
I didn't know you had a garter so would love to see some pics of it. As you already know I am jealous of yours boas and can't wait for mine to get that size.

Well Dave seems to have leveled out now with his length, still can't complain, last shed was 8foot 6 (so he's around 7 foot give or take an inch or 2). Zeus is still growing like a good 1 tho, she' just gone 2 2 weeks since and is already at 7 foot shed size, and is just about as long as her viv, which is 6 foot long. I still reckon she's going to be a 9foot plus snake. I got the garter a while since, was a local rescue i took in. She's a good looking snake but very very snappy (she's swallowed my finger to the first nuckle 3 times, and my second nuckle once, and boy did i bleed). Anyway here's a pic from last year after i got her weight bck up to more like what it should have been (for an adult she was skinnier then a 4 month old corn,) so you can tell the life she started with, and if you throw in the internal and external parasites and the 4+ layers of shed that needed removing, i didn't believe she was going to make it. Anyway heres a few pic's of her after i'd had her for 14 weeks eating a medium mouse. She's still not the friendliest snake in the worlds, but she is a lot better then she was, i can go in to change the water and remove poo ect without getting struck at, but she still panics when i go to get her out (which i still try to do 3-4 times a week to bring her round).

Poor little girl, still she is a very nice looking snake and theres nothing wrong with a little bit of biting just adds to their personality. Still I am sure you will get her settled down eventually.

i'm hopeing so, just started do a little more work with her in the last 2-3 weeks, going to get it to 5 10 mins handleing sesions a week in another 3-4 weeks to see if that makes any differance (it did with dave when i got him, but she's not dave, lol).
