Meet the gang!

That is completely understandable...you love your pets and want what is best for them. That is a good thing!

Yeah, it's hard to see them unhappy. It's hard on me sometimes to do stuff with them with my depression, but after I perk up a bit I try to love on them a bit or give them some of their favourite food as a treat and a little sorry for having one of those moments.

I noticed Snaps mouth wasn't closed all the way when I was holding her, it was in the front. It wasn't showing any of her gums, it was just very slight. I'll be keeping an eye on her more and get some peroxide and antibiotic ready for her if it gets worse. I've been up for 24 hours, for all I know I could be seeing things, lol.

There's a little notch right in the front that allows their tongue to come out. That's probably what you're seeing. If you haven't noticed any swelling or gums showing on the sides by now, they'll probably be OK.

[kibakiba]

I know they have the notch It's part of what makes them cute. But what I saw was it being pushed out just a little bit. I know their mouth opens a little when they stick their tongue out, but it looked slightly more open than when I looked at Ember. Either way, I'll just keep checking on them every once in a while.

Tiny's name is being put under consideration for a change. We're thinking about calling her Thumbelina instead. I can't say that she's tiny anymore. I think Thumbelina is fitting, considering she is a very small species of garter. We had originally made a joke that Tiny and Squirt were going to have their names changed to Tiny Tina and Tiny Tim, but squirt fits him... He squirts poop a lot.
I'm also second guessing Runt's gender again. I was holding her for a bit and I noticed her tail didn't exactly taper much at first. I guess next year I'll know for sure. She's so small I cant even tell. Hah.

Sounds like name roulette
What's in a name when they're getting good care.

"I don't care what you call me. Just don't call me late for dinner"

[kibakiba]

Haha, I like names that fit for them. That does fit how they are, however. I could call them really weird names, but they wouldn't care as long as they got their fill of pinkie parts.

[EasternGirl]

Yes, I think the little opening where their tongues come out makes them have the cutest little faces. I like your snakes' names, Chantel.

Sometimes I wonder if Selena is definitely a girl...I look at pictures and read stuff about the tail tapering and all that...I honestly cannot figure out the difference. All I know is that she has a short tail...it isn't long and thin. Steve saw I pic that I posted of her early on and said she looked like a girl.

These are the pics I posted...I will try to get some better ones:

I'm staying with my beautiful girl call. Selena is a lady.

[kibakiba]

She is definitely a girl... If she were a boy, you'd see a little area where its bigger behind the tail where the hemipenes would be... For me, it feels wrong staring at Runt trying to figure out what she is, but even if she is a male... She'll have to do with her mom thinking shes a girl.
