Do you know what an ecdysiast is?

An ecdysiast is one who, or that which, sheds its skin. In vulgar parlance, A stripper...

But I'm not a stripper. After what I've done,

Ernestine shed yesterday, and I felt so lucky to be there to see it! I know she'll do this many times, but I got to watch the process, for her first shed home with me! It was great!

Leaves! You have dried leaves for substrate! How COOL!!!!

OH-- with all the trauma the other day-- I forgot to tell you, I got my order of pinkies and fuzzies and they are GREAT!!! Thank you SO much for the quick order! You're my new feeder supplier. :-)

Nice pics, Stephi. I like the leaves, are they in the tank, or was the snake out of it's tank?

Glad there was at least one bright spot in your week. Again, so sorry about your little Curious. Just remember, there are plenty of hides and basking places, and slow fish and thawed pinkies in snake heaven.

(Sniff) Thank you. I can't tell you how much I miss Curious.... but then, I don't have to tell you, you all understand.

Well, and actually, there were two bright spots in my week. The order came into the office and the new girl, always eager to help, opened the box before I realized what she was doing. The shriek that followed was priceless. :D

[Aundrea]

awwwwwwwwww cute!! I love watching them shed. I got to see Bennie shed and it was soooo neat!! She let me help her some at the end. Its neat.

I agree Lori I got my pinkies from her 3 weeks ago and they look great and shes my new supplier also :D

Awww, Ernestine's all shiny and new :) Stephi, about how long did it take for the leaves to start smoking? They do look very nice!

Lori... Curious? Sadly going to have to go looking for that thread :(
