Just an update for you guys. Jeff sent me an email last night offering me a replacement for the snake that passed. Even though he had nothing to do with the passing of the first snake he is willing to help me out free of charge, what a great guy. I very much appreciate all that offered to help replace my little Shy but I wouldn't feel right taking your money. This is the perfect situation in my mind. You are all a great group of people and I am glad you all accepted me into your community. On a side note I think there should be some discussion on the use of provent-a-mite for garters especially young ones. I just don't want anyone to go through what Shy and I did. I have sent an email to the makers of provent-a-mite so we will see what they have to say.
