    Smile Happy Halloween from the snakes!

    Hi guys,

    I haven't been on the forum in over two weeks due to midterms....I actually had to block myself from going on. ...but after many, many late nights I am finally DONE as of this afternoon!

    All my snakes are doing well....and the little baby, Wolf, is eating great and growing. I think I need to do a size comparison of him soon! Anyway, here's a couple pictures.

    Minnie finally shed too (after lots of soaking in her bowl)...she looks so fresh and pretty now!




    And finally HAPPY HALLOWEEN (from Leo )

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Re: Happy Halloween from the snakes!

    Thanks guys! I have about a hundred more pictures of each of the snakes :X.....

    Any tips for converting the little guy over from worms to pinkies (parts)? It was surprisingly warm last week- but I'm sure how long I'll be able to dig up worms...

    I very rarely have to scent pinkies. My radixes take to them easily. I'd try that first. If that doesn't work, take a worm and rub it on the face of the pinky. If it's pinky parts just cut-up some worm and mix it all together. That should work.

    Re: Happy Halloween from the snakes!

    Nothing wrong with, IMHO, cooling them down when food get's scarce, especially since it's winter. Fewer daylight hours also helps. No experience with converting any garters to mammal food. Actually, I do have experience, just no success. Might want to try mixing a bunch of worms or worm parts in with pinky parts. maybe they won't know the difference and eat the pinky parts too. I know my concinnus wouldn't hesitate to try to swallow my finger, as long as it smelled like fish!
