Silly Snappy

Such a cutie! Nice photo!

I noticed something weird with Snap, and I haven't experienced it with any other snake of mine. Snap is a fat snake, and the last two feedings, it didn;t seem like she digested her food, she remained quite fat. She's pooping like normal, acting like her usual pissy, evil self and everything. The part that worries me is, even though she's fat, her skin is saggy and folding a little bit. She literally feels like her skin is a couple sizes too big. I don't think I'm overfeeding her, she gets a pinkie or two and a worm at feeding time, sometimes a couple pieces of salmon if she's good. Any insight about this?

No, other than, if it's like you make it sound, it's not good...

[kibakiba]

Well, obviously. If I didn't think it was bad, I wouldn't have posted about it. She's a strong snake, I'm sure she'll be fine.. I just want to know what's up with her.

Oh, I'd like to add that you can see the skin sagging, you mostly feel it and notice it when she's being held. I doubt a picture could show what I mean.

[RedSidedSPR]

I know, it was mostly a joke.

I have learned my lesson to restrain her more, and perhaps not let her get within biting distance of me.

Tough leason ...

[kibakiba]

Indeed. It could have been tougher, though. She didn't do nearly as much damage as she could have.

That's not good at all. Can't even begin to speculate what's going on without seeing it.

[RedSidedSPR]

Pictures. Here. Now.

Richard, I can't take a picture of it, and she's too squirmy to get a video of. Do you have msn or skype, so I may be able to show you what she looks like?

Well, actually, you cant even tell now. She ate yesterday, worms and a little fish, and her skin is a bit tighter. I'll monitor her to see if the skin gets loose again.
