Marnie's Snakes

[EasternGirl]

I love my Cee Cee. She and I have gotten into a feeding routine in which I sit in front of her tank on the floor with a dish of food and she comes over to the front of the tank and sticks her head out to me and I feed her with the hemostats. It's very cute. She is very polite when she takes her bites now...although I do still have to be careful not to put my fingers in the tank after I feed her, because then she gets confused and thinks my fingers are more food. But last night, she did the cutest thing...I decided to give her a worm treat after her shot. She had her head sticking out of the tank, like usual. But then she got very excited and stretched her entire body out to me to reach for the worm piece, and when I went to feed it to her, I dropped it on the floor outside her enclosure. So...she quickly slithered down out of her enclosure and onto the floor...grabbed the piece of worm and then, just as quickly, slithered right back up into her enclosure with the worm and took it into the tank and ate it. She didn't try to make a break for it or anything. She knows where her home is. I love my Ceecers so much.

She was worrying me again because this morning she was doing that odd thing where she was acting like she was trying to vomit again. I watched her for a while...she did it for about ten minutes and then she stopped. She seemed to be breathing very hard and wheezing when she was doing it. I also think she may have regurgitated some worm last night. I have no idea what this is about...but she seems better now.

I got a couple of pics of Hermes tonight in his new hanging plant....you'll have to ignore the writing on the outside of his tank that I haven't been able to get off...it kind of ruins the pics, but at least you can see Hermes...

And here is a pic of Cee Cee...peeking out of her plants... 008.jpg

I used goo gone on our tank when we first got it, then clean the heck out of it.

What is goo gone? It is just some writing stuff on the outside. I've tried alchohol...and the bleach and vinegar and stuff I use to clean the tank won't take it off either. It's very frustrating. It's left from where a label was on the outside and it transferred.

Hermes is looking good.
Nice to see Cee Cee.

Thanks, Steve.

Goo Gone is pretty toxic stuff, I wouldn't try it unless that stuff is on the outside of the tank.

Home - Goo Gone

Well, it is on the outside..but does anyone have any suggestions for something I could use that I might already have around the house? Something that would take black lettering off the outside of a tank that was transferred from a sticker? The stuff just doesn't want to come off...alcohol, vinegar, and bleach did not work.

A razor blade scrapper should take it off.
