My Snakes

[Aundrea]

Here are some pics of my snakes AND I GOT A GARTER!!!!! Stephanie suprised me with a Red Sided Garter from Kyle. Hes sooo BEAUTIFUL!!!! I have not picked a name out yet. My 4 year old daughter wants to name him Swiper from Dora the Explorer LOL. THANK YOU STEPHANIE AND KYLE!!!! He is kinda skiddish but he dont hide much. Ill take some more pics of him. I have had him for a week now.





This is a pic of Max and wrapped around his tail peeking up is Swiper. I thought it was a cute picture


Bennie playing peek a boo


I took this pic last night. I was trying to feed Swiper since he still wont eat. Well I put in a nightcrawler it wasnt a very big one but i think a little too big for the Dekayis and too big for Max. I came back and MAX grabbed it!!! This is him finishing it off!! HES A PIG LOL. Bennie was just watching. She wasnt hungry.

Max must feel right at home

Good to see him eating so well.

Thanks Wayne and Tami. I LOVE my Dekayis. Bennie is a sweetheart. I was holding her last night. Shes my buddy. She will wrap around my fingers or wrist and hang out with me watching tv or talking on the phone LOL Max is a little skiddish when being held but hes getting better. He does come up to me in the tank and flickers away and looks. Hes cute

Yeah, we will always have a DK or 2 around.

I just put Sharon (The new mom) in with a smallish male garter.

His name is Rusty, so Rusty and Sharon have a 20 long with bark and coconut on the floor, a stick and a ceramic cottage.

I used one of the water bowls that is made for dogs, and has 2 openings along the bottom, so it doubles as a hide.

They are getting along great.

The babies are shooting up quick, amazing how fast they grow up.

Please be careful with the worms, If you cut them with scissors they will not be as likely to crawl back out of the snake.

I have heard from some people who have had worms crawl back out of the snake and kill it.

Yikes i have never heard that before!! Ill make sure to keep my eye on them. I usually do watch them eat to make sure they ate it and it went down smoothly
