this has been a crummy snakeweek

[flakgunner]

hey,
started off crummy,right from the beginning,with my 6 ft. Bullsnake dying,on Sunday(I guess he had enough of watching those dreadful Chicago Bears),then on Monday,our Daughter #3,walking home from the bus stop,found a 15" W.Plains Gartersnake laying in the ditch,all busted up,
Gartersnake vs. lawnmower=,well we've been working on it dressing it's wounds,keeping it warm,giving it water,yesterday,we kind of thought ,it had a chance,but wasn't the case,it died last night.
Ending on a good note,the baby W.Plains my Daughter #3,rescued from under the paws of a neighborhood cat,afew week ago, attacked it's first worm!possibly ate a second,so thing are looking up,for this little one

what a hard week
sorry about all the losses, especially the bull snake, which you've probably had for quite a time
glad your baby is eating and hopefully the trend is toward better snake weeks

I know garters only as pets and all native reptiles are so rare that it is a little adventure to see one at all.
Sorr for your loss, Joe.

So sorry for the loss of your bullsnake!! :-( And you certainly at least tried with the garter... which is all you can do. I hope the other one continues to improve and things go up from here!!!!

So sorry to hear about the loss of your bullsnake, and the injured garter; it is very frustrating when you try to help an injured animal and it just doesn't work. But best of luck with the little one!

Sorry to hear of your loss. I would cry like a little girl if I lost my pit. My suggestion is to get a new one. That deafening hiss makes my heart warm.

Sorry for the loss Joe, hope the cumming weeks get a lot better.......

Sorry to hear about your crumby week, Joe. Shame about the Bullsnake. At least you tried with the Garter, snake versus lawnmower.... not a fair fight!
