Cee Cee and Selena...The Eastern Girls

[EasternGirl]

Here is an update on Cee Cee and Selena, my Eastern girls...with a couple of new pics...

Cee Cee is about two and a half feet long now...she finally took two worms again from me from tongs yesterday and gobbled them up like they were going out of style. She hasn't taken food from me in a long time, so that was quite an accomplishment! For those of you who don't know the story of Cee Cee...she was found in my flower bed outside last spring, and I brought her inside because I feared her getting hurt by a lawn mower or an animal outside. When I posted pics on here, everyone immediately told me she was gravid. I already had one eastern garter, my little Selena. I put Cee Cee in incubation...with the intention of eventually having her as a roommate for Selena. Last July, Cee Cee gave birth to 30 stillborn babies. After the babies were born, I put her in with Selena...they have been happy roomies every since.

Selena came to live with me after I found her as a little scrub stuck in a spiderweb in my basement. She was a very skiddish girl at first...but she was my introduction to snakes...and what a wonderful introduction she was! She is now about a foot and a half long. She loves living with Cee Cee and they curl up together all the time. I can't imagine life without snakes now!

Yesterday, I got some new things for the enclosure...I got a new play rock for the girls and put some moist moss inside. I have never kept moist moss in the girls' enclosure before...I have always just misted it with water....so we will see how they like this. Cee Cee hasn't shed in quite a while so I'm hoping this might be good for her.

Here are some new pics of my girls:
