Well, the on going saga of Piper the pedantic het pied python, after 8 weeks he's finally remembered what he's supposed to do with rats, 3 of the buggers in fact Laughing

He managed to gorge his way through 2 pups and a monster mouse before he decided he could retire to his hidey house Very Happy

Just have to get Mrs Piper eating again now and a normal who's being stubborn and hopefully we should be back to some sort of normality, or as normal as you can get for royals Laughing

My female is still hugging the cool end and her water bowl and refusing to eat now, and the other female has gone off food as well and sulking because I took her man away for a few days Laughing

Oh and they've all been evicted to my sons bedroom floor as the room is being racked out for them, will post piccies tomorrow when it's all finished Smile

Thanks everyone, I was very relieved Lynne, I was going to start clapping and cheering, but thought it might put him off again Laughing

I can imagine how you felt when Kya started eating on her own now Very Happy

Pete, that'll be the spider in her, I once saw our little spider take 3 weaners, and they were nearly as big as him, but the bugger kept coming back for more Shocked

Now he has to make do with a small rat, I don't want an obese impotent spider Laughing

Mind I'll get some of the girls to wear it off him next season Laughing

Congrats Jakeus, always good when they remember that they are supposed to eat their dinner and not cuddle it Rolling Eyes

I'll get piccies up tomorrow Paul, I could post some up now, but it will look nicer when it's finished. I've only got the 50Litre bays (30 of them) done at the moment and the first batch of 18Litre bays, there will be 24 of them all together, and then we have to start on the hatchling rack sharpish as I'll have geckos hatching in a bit that will need to be housed so the rack will be set up for 100 large cadbury boxes that will house geckos assorted and baby pythons when we get them, and my beardie left me 14 eggs this morning Shocked

It was mayhem here!! Laughing

Then just the 9Litre racks to go and a few finishing touches and we're done, for now anyway Wink

I nearly stopped breathing in case the vibration made him drop the first one Embarassed

And I gave Paul dirty looks in case he cast a shadow of his tub Laughing

It's really hard trying to tell someone not to do something without moving your lips and your teeth clenched Laughing
