Tyler Nolan sent me a SNAKE in the mail! πŸπŸ“­

Our friend @TylerNolan helped us find an adult snake that needed a good home! He had a friend who was moving and therefore downsizing and had to get rid of Icee so we decided to adopt her from him! Thanks Tyler for finding her and sending her to us and helping us provide the best for her. She is a 4 year old female ball python, a mix of a blue eyed Lucy and Mojave. Both of her enclosures are from our friends at @ZooMed. You probably noticed the enclosure looking different a lot and that's because we keep finding out more of Icee's preferences for hides and new accessories keep coming in for her!

I enjoyed that sooooo much!! I've always been a snake enthusiast. So, I heard you say you set up the snake habitat in your dad's office to keep the birds safe. Are there special things we have to be aware of when it comes to cross contamination?

Now I want to see more of Icee on patreon! I ams so curious about snake enrichment and potential snake training(is it possible? Since snakes don’t eat as regularly, I wonder if it is even possible. I wonder if you can do Steve Irwin type of stuff with feeding her meals and getting her to exhibit natural predator behavior)

I feel like Dave and Capri might enjoy feeding her meals with natural predatory behavior in mind, making her hunt her food.

We were told to disinfect everything in between bird vs snake uses so I actually picked a foraging tree that my birds don't really seem to like much at all and hardly use, and I took allllll the toys off it and designated it Icee's tree. This way I don't have to disinfect all the time. My go to disinfectant is F10 though, we use it at masterclasses as well.

We haven't had any luck getting her to eat yet. I was told you can train with pinky mice possibly but so far snake training does not sound up my alley just purely based on the reward!

Ohhh, a tree, cool! And I love F10, use it here as well. Thanks for the reply. Have too much fun!!
