My cousins have been staying in my house for the past few days...and to give them some thrills, I decided to bring home a mice for Fred - record it! It's a new experience to me...and I haven't seen any cold blooded animal eat their victims, LIVE!
Something happened yesterday's morning. Fred shedde d his skin! Unfortunately, it happened in the morning, and I didn't get to see it live. Well, I was so excited and kept the skin. Before that, his eyes were white and his skin color was blurrish...It was a whole new experience for me because I watch him growing. Hmm...no wonder he was a bit fierce and active when I tried to catch him few days ago. I guessed he wasn't comfortable with touches while going through the shedding process...
I brought home a mice for Fred's dinner last night. I daren't to pick the mice, hehe...so, my dear cousin did...and we snapped some photos...yeah..crazy yet excited to see the *event*! We actually recorded the whole *event* from the very beginning to the end. It was really an opener to me and a whole new experience in my life. I didn't know that I could learn so much about Fred by keeping him - actually get to know more about cold-blooded animals. In fact, it has never crossed my mind that I'd be keeping a snake as my pet!
Well, keeping Fred has changed my some of my thoughts. Keeping reptiles doesn't mean that we are destroying their habitats - but to get to know more about them closely, for this and next generations. I used to think that reptiles should be living in their habitats!
I can see Fred is really growing and he's getting bigger day by day. After the shedding process, I witnessed his skin color has a little bit of changes, the pattern on his body are clearer and more visible, and of course, his body grew longer and FATTER! hahaha...but, he's still having a small head...well, it's good, at least, I still feel safe! ;)
The New Fred!
