Meet the gang!

Indeed. Tiny was very active in his picture and wouldn't stop moving. Squirt is still shy but maybe that will change now that he's in with the crowd. They were very welcoming to him and he seemed extremely happy to be in a larger, more decorated tank. It's almost as if him and Tiny love each other. They were sharing the tree earlier today. Looking at Squirt and at Tiny makes it seem like Squirt is definitely a male, his tail doesn't immediately taper and Tinys does. So maybe Tiny is really a girl.
Tiny acts more like a female(in my opinion) does because she's calm and enjoys attention, or at least tolerates it when she doesn't want it. Squirt on the other hand doesn't like being touched and is a bit jumpy. Today when I was going to be introducing him to the "big babies" he pooped and started biting me multiple times. Maybe in time he'll calm down. He could just be like Runt, who was the most skittish snake I had ever seen, but after leaving her alone for a month, she willingly comes up to my hand.


And later tonight, maybe tomorrow, I have a feeding video! I was feeding all my snakes today and I moved them all to Squirts old tank for feeding and put my webcam on it. I have to edit it into two parts, though. I thought I was pretty fast at feeding them but apparently it took 30 minutes. I did feed them faster, though, with the hemostats. Sometimes feeding time is around an hour... Give or take a little while.

Snakey Started shedding shortly after feeding him and it was coming off in shreds and he had both eyecaps stuck on him. I was going to leave him to do it himself and get the eyecaps off when he was done, but he seemed to have given up. He was all coiled up under his hide. Anyway, I grabbed a warm damp cloth and rubbed it softly on his face and got the caps off and then I misted him a bit with warm water and put my fingers around the area he stopped shedding around and let him work himself out. At first he really didn't like the help, but after it started coming off in one piece he started to move faster and after the last bit came off he came into my hand and curled up a bit with his head facing me and his cute little tongue flicking as if he was thanking me. So cute. Here's a picture of his new vibrant orange and the shed that I got off of him.

Mama retained her shed. She looked half dead when I checked on her and she was all wrinkly. I helped her get it off, she didn't seem to appreciate it until it was 3/4 of the way off. When I was checking on her, she was laying limp in the tank, so I took the lid off, she didn't move, flick her tongue or look up at me like she usually does. This was when I realized she was wrinkly. Anyways, I used a wet paper towel and softly rubbed it against her nose to get the shed going and I was misting her with warm water. She started coming to life the more the shed came off. I just realized now that I could have used a warm washcloth and put that in a container and stuck her in there to help with humidity, but I panicked when she was all limp. I thought she was dead. She's perfectly fine now, though. Sleeping away with Snakey.

They suffocate because they can't take a breath.
Nice save.

Well done

Thank you. Mama seems really happy to have that shed off. She's been slithering around everywhere as if she had a few too many coffees.

I had another snake shed today, Ember! He's shed about 5 times since I got him.
