Hey guys

Well im definately making progress with irwin im not getting pooped or musked on quite so much now hes fine if i handle him every day but after i feed him i leave him 48 hours so when i take him out again i get tail rattled and musked lol but lucky for me im like a dog with a bone and i shall persevere regardless he has so much more personality than my corns or royal (i know i know Blasphemy!!..but its true lol) anyway below is a link to a video i took of him feeding last night i give him 2 large pinkies every 5 days they dont seem to leave a bump but he looks too small for fuzzies ?

hehe... I love how feisty little kings are :)
he looks like a delight, the musking will end soon...

I'd say he is too small for fuzzies still...

in conclusion... awesome little snake!

Thanks hes sure feisty lol thank god the musking will end soon lol cause the other day it was everywhere i tell you its gonna be a while before i can drink banana milkshake again lol i went through my supplies and even my smallest fuzzies are too big i think as im applying the same rule as the corns in that feed should be 1 and a half times the width of the thickest part of the snake so i hope thats right lol
Funny thing is the guy in the pet centre i bought him from told me this ones a shy feeder ull need to drop feed him and leave him alone overnight lol ..erm yeh right! first time i tried feeding him in a tub (which is how i feed all my other snakes cept one cause he really is a shy feeder) he had an even more aggresive response than this lol
