Back from the vet

[angrygamer]

So I just got back from taking Glyph to the vet, found out some interesting things. Turns out he is a male Radix.

Also, the vet was not too keen on the aspen, she recommended newspaper or something that wouldn't get in his eyes.

She also recommended a full color spectrum light, something I thought was not necessary for garters but I know that some reps need it, I think. I had been using the light from the tank I bought in December, which was once a fish tank. I picked one up on the way home. It looks a lot like the same color as the fish tank light, except it's a lot "cleaner"...the color is more vibrant. Other sources I have read up on say the snakes really get their vitamin D3 through their diet...but a UVB light can't hurt. I'll keep y'all posted on how he reacts to it.

Also, this book has come by good recommendation:


What's Wrong With My Snake - John Rossi, Roxanne Rossi - Google Books


Not from the vet but from someone else, I ordered it on Tuesday and I should get it next week. I'll keep y'all posted.
