    my new arrivals

    just in today




    they're a bit skinny
    seem healthy otherwise though
    I haven't checked them out in detail yet
    want to give them a chance to settle in a bit
    they're so beautiful

    Nice, Rhea. Watch out for internal parasites with those Xenochrophis if they're wild caught. They are beautiful snakes aren't they. (and very popular just now!) Do you know their sex yet?

    they're supposed to be 1.2
    once things are settling down around here, I'll take a closer look

    upon closer inspection they definitely have nematodes and one has a blister
    they're alert though, and curious
    their orifices all look clean

    Rhea,

    If you get the chance, would you mind taking a picture of the nematodes in the feces? I think it would be very helpful in the future for people who are wondering about the condition of their new arrivals? Luckily, I don't have any nematodes to photograph at the moment .

    Good idea Rick.....wish I'd thought of that! Maybe we should all consider photographing every event from now on, good or bad, for the general good of all our members.
