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 ?

yes thats exactly what ive been thinking mick i said that to my friend the other day and he called me a wimp !! so i told him next time he can feed him lol i dont mind getting tagged for making a mistake but id rather not get munched on via a feed response i know kings have a tendency to hold on and clamp down lol

Nice one, love the tail rattle. If mine strike like that I think longer feeding tongs are in order lol.

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

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!
