My snake log

I know eh? I'd of given it to Babs but it sat out all night... I'm not sure I'd trust it. Almost 12hours... From 7:40pm to 7am ... Garbage!

Babs is got blue eyes again... It's only been 13days since her last shed! I'll get pictures

A 12 hour old pinky to a radix is just aged meat. In the wild it would have been eaten without hesitation.

"Waste not, want not" It's a radix motto.

Fair enough, lol good thing I hadn't taken out the trash yet, it was sitting on a 'clean' plastic waffle bag that I threw out at the same time. It was still rinsed and then doused in worms after being cut in half. I think Babs is getting more n more of a taste for mouse! She had a few little worm chunks then got the pinkie n after the first half of pinkie she actually pushed a worm off the second half before grabbing it! Then finished her worms after like a good fat Radix, lol My fiance is just in awe of how fat she looks after she's eaten lol I noted how he looked after I made Steak n Scalloped Potatoes n Awesome Salad

Aaaaaaand then there is George.... Yet another pinkie sat out, untouched... He is currently in time out for not eating his supper AGAIN! (A towel over his cage so he cannot see me or anything outside of his tank) He can stay in time out until he eats his supper! Bad Scale-y Child! He has lost weight, I'm not overly concerned, but I am a bit. He drinks water, is active-ish, His skin doesn't feel loose or anything, he just looks hungry... Odd thing George is. Do you think maybe he feels to cold at night n that's why he's not eating? How long is a whole pinkie good left out?

What do you feed them besides pinkies? Because Seeley was not eating recently when I was feeding pinkies and then all of the sudden when I offered fish and worms, he went crazy for the worms. I noticed you mentioned worms...do you feed fish too? I think you have mentioned fish before. Is it just the pinky he is refusing? I'm weird about leaving food out...I don't leave it out for more than a couple of hours...I kind of go by the same rule of thumb as people food. I'm also weird about letting my snakes get too cold at night. Other members argue that they can take it pretty cold...and I know there is supposed to be a temp drop at night...but I don't let it get lower than 70 degrees in their enclosure.

I was told pinkies were all he would eat.. I've tried worms n salmon... I've got some frozen minnows I can try.. Tried a live guppy n he had no interest at all... He has only eaten one pinkie since I bought him a month ago...

[Light of Dae]

Well George ate a minnow yesterday! I know Minnows aren't ideal But I honestly didn't think he'd eat it lol I'm most likely going to the city tonight so I'll stop at a Petco or Petsmart n see if I can't get some frozen silversides

Babs shed this morning, perfectly yet again! 16days in between her last shed, How crazy is that! My growing machine! lol
Yesterday I cleaned her fake rock n while trying to take it out she wouldn't leave me alone lol It was so cute! she came down from her vines to my hand, so I stopped for a bit let her check out my hand. Then went to 'shoo' her along so I could remove the rock and she comes back n sits on it! I move her along again, two seconds later shes on her vines coming towards me AGAIN lol it was so cute! So I gave in, took her out n gave her a warm bath

*Gulp*

Looks like someone is about to shed! Have you tried mixing the pinky with the worms or fish for George? Cut it all up in to little pieces so the scent is all mixed together and see if that will get him eating something else...It worked with my snakes.

Lol Babs did shed this morning! the blue eyes where on the 24th, bath with 'clear' eyes yesterday. will take shiny freshly shed pictures soon.

I've tried that for George but although he was interested n sniffed it all, no go. but will try a couple silversides (providing I find some) seeing as he ate a minnow...and I have yet to try a 85%mouse to worm ratio. He also didn't touch worms n salmon, nor just salmon. Picky eater!

All Shiny n cute! The jar was to help humidity get a little higher... Didn't work very well ... Oh well still had a perfect shed at 25%

Who Me? Cute? Here you can see what I think is a unique pattern to her... Solid black stripes along her dorsal stripe, spots atop her lateral stripes. There is no sign of spots forming along the top. Also note her dots on her head n the first little bit of her dorsal strip are white-ish.
