Blue puget quarantine..

[Albert Clark]

is going well and he has been pretty regular feeding on mostly f/t silversides. I recently added the new Herpstat 1 for the quarantine tub and have it set at 88f. Humidity is variable between 46% - 55%. He is scheduled to have passed the qt. period on September 20th or thereabouts. I plan on cooling/ brumating them both in late November.http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13841&stc=1The female has been on a weight reduction program and is looking more toned these days. She recently shed and is a amazing specimen. I can't wait to get them going.

Looks good.
Thanks Steve. He is so fast! As soon as I open that lid he looks up and begins moving upwards. He even tagged me last week when I had him in a separate enclosure while I cleaned out the qt. tub. Good thing I had rubber gloves on. Didn't pierce my skin at all.

What the heck are you doing to that snake. My radixes rush me when I open their enclosure to give me kisses.:D

Caught his girlfriend this morning awake and cruising the tub. Still on her slim fast diet till November.http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13845&stc=1http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13846&stc=1http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13847&stc=1:)

This female blue puget is the strongest garter I have ever known in my entire career. Total opposite of her male counterpart. Maybe bc she is much older?http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=13853&stc=1
