Silly Snappy

[kibakiba]

She's pooping perfectly fine. She left a large log on my shirt when I was checking her out. before I had fed her, if you were holding her, you could feel the skin folding. It's kind of like when you rub a dogs neck, and they have all the extra skin... But not as bad.

I fed the snakes today, and checked on Snap. She's still fat, though she hasn't eaten for a week. She's active, pooped on me (a nice watery mess from the worms and strip of salmon) and her skin isn't sagging anymore. Her body is extremely strong, if she wants something, and you push her away, she'll push back and I'm very serious when I say this, she's like a hulk snake.

Snap is doing good. I've been working with her, so she wont be afraid anymore. I rest my hand in the tank for 10 minutes and hold her for 30 minutes every 2 days. tonight she actually fell asleep, fully limp like a comfy sleeping snake should be. She's adorable. I really cherish moments like this.

So do we.
Thanks for sharing.

I hope I can gain her trust before she's an adult... She's about Mama's size right now, a little less girth, though. Mama's bites hurt so bad, I can't imagine an adult Snap bite... Haha. I also don't like her living in fear of me all the time, it makes me feel bad.

Today I thought I'd take snap into my bedroom. This is where I take my best buddies... Snap does not consider me a friend, I guess. She flew off my bed and pooped all over my floor. I've never seen a snake poop so much in my life. The smell is stuck into the floor now... Yuck.

Despite that, she's still my lil' buddy. She's laying on a dish cloth, sleeping with my hand over her.

Here's some pictures of little miss Snappy. I'm sure Richard will enjoy seeing how big she has gotten.
She's about to shed, also. Isn't she just the prettiest little girl?!

She is very pretty!

Good looking concinnus. They are a special garter snake.

Yeah. She's been getting me a lot more attached to her. She was laying across my chest and let me lean my head softly against her. It was really special, to me at least.
