Today I picked up a much needed supply of substrate. The kids help me unload it and get it into the basement.
Then started the task of changing the substrate in a few of the enclosures that needed it the most.
First up was the T.s.concinnus(red-spotted garter snake) paddock. I directed all the snakes to the right hand side of the enclosure while I cleaned the left and then reversed those instructions. All the snakes where cooperative.
I did notice while the worked commenced I received many strange looks from the inhabitants. Most of the looks were like "Get the hell out of here" "What the hell is he doing" "Somebody stop him" "We don't have to put up with this kind of treatment" "Jerk" and so on.:D
I tried explaining to them that this was for their own good and that they would thank me when it was all done.
I even upgraded them to a large pool/water dish.
Once I was done I sat back and watched them.
They were quick to investigate the smell of the clean substrate and then proceeded to crap all over it.
The little jerks.
I guess they were adding their own special touches to their home.
