So, im not sure what happened, but last night at around 3 am, i woke up to some loud screeching in my rat cage, i run over, and little nessie was injured. about an inch or so of her tail was "Degloved"..meaning the skin was pulled off..exposing the bony parts...its actually a natural defense of theirs if they get caught by a owl or other predator. i think Nessie and eevee were playing, mind you nessie is like 3/4 the size of eevee, and i think eevee got too rough for her and wound up degloving her tail. very very sad, i hope that Nessie pulls though this. I was up til like 6 am making sure she dosnt bleed to death....right now she is doing fine her tail is scabbing up and healing.
ill be keeping an eye on her around the clock...luckily she will make it out of this, if i keep her in a immaculately clean cage and keep her tail clean. the exposed part will simpy shrivel up and turn black...then nessie will remove it when she sees fit.

So THAT'S what it's called? One of the Rats I fed my Burm (It was a frozen one though.) I had it hanging by the tail on tongs, and the skin slipped off and I dropped the Rat lol.
Newest pictures of Orion. He's getting so big already! His girth has doubled in size since I got him! And that's only a bit less then a month ago. "Burms are extremely fast growers" is no fucking lie! I expect him to be 4-5 Feet by March of 2011.
This first picture is the first picture I got of him literally moments after I got him at the Reptile show.
