    I hope no one gets mad at me... but I took this picture, didn't no that he was spitting up water or whatever he had eaten before I got him. I believe he did it cause I picked him up, nicely, but must have frighten it.

    Stephanie, they have been off feed for a few days for shipping, there should not have been anything in the snake to regurgitate.

    I hope he is OK.

    Re: more pics of my new snakes

    Stephanie, I like the background on that tank-- is that a normal fish tank background?? I don't think I've seen that one-- I want, tell me where to get!! :-)

    I'm not sure about that spitting up either... just keep an eye on the little guy. Do you know how long before he was shipped that he'd eaten?

    Re: more pics of my new snakes

    Unless there was a mix up, the snakes have been off feed for about 5 days now.

    They are not used to a lot of handling, and combined with the stress of the airplane ride, and being taped in a box for a day, they really should be given a day or two to settle in before they get too stressed out.

    Also I wanted to point out, they are used to feeding in a small box (a rubbermaid / sterilite type container) with no substrate. Shavings and fibers will stick to slugs like glue, and they will swallow junk.

    These guys lost 2 siblings that way, and it was ugly.

    Hi Lori, that background came along with a tank, that had 2 leopard geckos.
    It's cardboard, let me check to see if there is a name or something on it..

    Oh. Because you know, it seems to me that, aside
    from being a little mentally ill, she's pretty normal.

    Re: more pics of my new snakes

    They were boxed and unboxed and returned to the tank, so it is possible that one that ate recently got mixed in by accident

    That tank looks so lonely, it had 5 snakes, now it has 2.....

    One from Xena's litter and one from Athena's litter.

    The small one from Xena's litter has a slight handicap, and I am quite fond of him. (His special needs don't bother me any)

    Enjoy,
