Snap won't eat anything BUT fish. And, on top of that... She won't poop in her tank, she wont poop in her water... After an hours holding and loving on... She poops on me.

Muahahaha! way to go snap!

You should give her pinky parts too. I just thaw the bits in with fish and mix well, then slip her a piece. She thinks it's fish. I'm just saying that would be a better balance diet for her.

Heck, after a while of doing that, the babies I have now will take fish, worms, or pinkies even if not mixed. They get a nice variety of food now.

Either way, they still have stinky poo and even the little ones can musk good enough for you to notice the smell on your hands.

I do slip in pinky parts and worms. She will eat them, she doesn't care for them much but if I have fish she zips over to my hand and steals it from the others. All of my babies, save for Tiny and Squirt, have a highly varied diet. If I can ever afford a tank for guppies, I'd probably start breeding those for some food too.

I held her earlier and she squirted salmony poo all over my leg and hand... Cleaned that up and took her out to let her meet my mom, pooped on my hand... Put her back in the tank after an hour and a half of holding and neck massages, she squirted some more poop on my hand. Maybe she should be named Squirt, and Squirt should be named Snap.

That vicious, thieving, trample all to get to the fish... it's in her genes. All the snakes many generations before her, that came from the same genetic pool are like that. Those dimorphic concinnus are just "fish-crazy"

The pair I had for about 20 years (from the same place that snap's parents are from) would just go nuts if cooked fish in the house. Oh, and if I forget to wash my hands and go near them... oh crap. My hand is food as far as they're concerned, as long as it smells vaguely of fish.

[kibakiba]

Yeah, Snap likes to bite me and will hang on if I just have a slight smell of fish on my hands. Usually it doesn't hurt but once she bit me and held onto something with her tail and pulled, it actually ripped a little skin and made me bleed. My finger was red and sore for the rest of the day too.

Ouch =p

I personally don't find it pleasant, but not at all as bad as it sounds above. My female has musked me three times and it seemed to wash right off.

I read that only females musk... is that right?
