William's garter snakes.

Sorry to hear this. Not good news.

[EasternGirl]

So sorry to hear of your loss...

[frostyftw]

Well, I should have asked if you guys knew anything I could do, without the vet.

Not for sure that you guys could give me much help with that, though.

[EasternGirl]

Sometimes there isn't much you can do...no use in doubting yourself now. You gave the snake a good life while you could...that is what matters.

[frostyftw]

Alright, thank you.

Here's a couple of questions:
When should I let some of my snakes go?
Should I do this in a specific month?
Should I wait until I see snakes?

I think I should wait until I see other snakes, they'll be out when the temp. is right for them to live.
What do you guys think?

[chris-uk]

I'd say waiting until you see other snakes out is a good way to judge when the conditions are right.

I concur with Dr. Chris.

[frostyftw]

Alright, thank you.

That was what I was going to do, I just had to make sure that was the best option.

Here's a question..

Where do the snakes that die go?

I've only seen 2 dead snakes.

One, somebody killed.. They stepped on it's head..
Two, someone ran it over with a bike.

So, what happens to them after they die?

I should notice them, I'm always watching them, catching them, taking pictures of them..
Well.. When the time of year is right, that is..

I don't think anything would eat them..
Decomposing would take time, I would probably see them before then..

So yeah.. What happens?

(Sorry for random question, I'm just wondering..)

scavengers take care of them.
