    Eating out of my hand...

    Today, Stewie shed. Her first after having the babies 2 1/2 weeks ago and her 4th since Mother's Day. She is around 24" to 26" long. Beautiful shiny snakie skin today!. Her checker marks are much smaller now that she is not carrying around a baseball team. She hasn't been interested in food for a few days, so today she came out cruisin the tank. I told her I would come home with some mouses. I offered her one of three from my hand and she gently took it out of my fingers. next, I offered the second, which she grabbed at and munched down. I let her get the 3rd on her own. She was still looking around the dinner plate for more, so I thawed one more out and offered it to her, which she took out of my fingers! So cool! Such a great Mommy snake and she has 10 beautiful little ones that look just like her.

    She deserves a good meal. Great job.

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

    She did all the work. Such a great snake! I am lucky to have met up with her.
