Cuddles!

I like that second pic...he looks like he is trying to pose to give you the good side of his profile! The last one with the tongue flick is great too. Glad he is doing so well!

Don't use anything that will push water into the holes made from the extraction... That was what the intern told me to do, and it gave me dry socket. Don't use a straw, no soda and swish (very very gently) with salt water. See, if the intern hadn't told me to use a syringe to rinse the holes out, I wouldn't had gotten dry socket.. and she said soda was okay.. and that straws were advised... My dentist said otherwise, after the fact. I'm prone to infections and other complications (not to mention I tend to get the less knowledgeable people telling me the stuff)... You'll be fine.

Boy do I feel fortunate. Haven't had a single cavity as an adult and I have all my teeth. The enamel on my teeth is sooo thick. I don't even have to really take care of my teeth like one should. I still don't get any problems. No tartar buildup, no gum disease, no cavities. My teeth are indestructible.

My dad is the same way. He's never used floride toothpaste in his life. Just baking soda. He's 68 and just lost one of his baby teeth a year ago. All these years he kept a baby tooth and it lasted all that time. Amazing.

Honestly, I think flouride tooth past is a damn joke. Baking soda and peroxide is really good at cleaning teeth... Add a little bit of xylitol and you're golden.

Yeah, I rinse with peroxide almost daily. Tastes like **** but it works way better than any regular mouthwash. Keeps the stink away, gums healthy, teeth white.

Lucky *******. xD

Flouride is literally useless.

I'm not nearly that lucky. Because of what I went through when I was born, I have no enamel on some of my teeth. I have all of my teeth, of course, but I've had at least 10 cavities, no matter how well I take care of my teeth.

I have nice looking teeth...and they cost me a lot of money...many crowns. I always took care of them...but crappy teeth run in my family.

Cuddles has finally taken the first step to becoming an escape artist. Albeit, he has a long way to go before getting very far - crawling across my floor right where I can see him is not a very good way to avoid getting caught - I am a little frustrated. Looks like it's time to find and block any spaces that I have missed so far.

Ungrateful little snake. He should be happy with the wonderful, safe, warm home that he has. My room can be a dangerous place.

For an update....I have secured the tank as good as possible and I am in the market for a new one. Hopefully I can find a good one, with a lid, at a Goodwill or similar thrift store.

They love to escape! I had 8 babies try to escape all at once in the summer. I got our 20 long at petco for around $40 at our local pet store. It was 50% off though. They have sales like that every so often at petco. We got our 10g at walmart for $15, but Bill had to make the screen for it. If you go on craigslist you can find some good deals sometimes. Just be sure they send you pictures of every angle before you go look at it.
