Marnie's Snakes

[EasternGirl]

Thanks, Richard. Yes, the ones that are coming out now are starting to come out with partial bodies...either the front of the body with the end of the body missing...or the end with the front missing...but it seems that she will then pass the other half a little later. Sometimes she will pass all of the body...but it will be torn in half, and sometimes they will come out whole either stretched out or coiled up tightly in sacs. They are all very dried up, rancid smelling, and looking more and more deformed and reabsorbed...less and less like babies. She now looks very skinny. I can actually see the bumps in her at this point of the stillborns left that she needs to pass...this is very fortunate because I should be able to tell when she gets them all out. Thanks for your comments...it helps to hear from someone who has experienced this firsthand with one of their snakes.

Ceecee is a tough girl, it is nice hearing from people who've had this sort of thing happen before, gives you a little more peace of mind that Ceecee will be alright .

Glad to here the little ones are doing good Try mincing up a worm like into a mush, then slather fish chunks in it... they wont even know they are eating fish till its half way down! hehe. It works wonders for George who doesn't like salmon, will not touch salmon even when it is coated in slime, he pushes it away... But with worm mash... He'll gulp it down so fast, he doesn't have a clue! *insert evil laugh here*

Well, as of last night in the middle of the night...Cee Cee's total count was up to 27...but she doesn't look lumpy anymore and she hasn't passed anything since last night...so my finger's are crossed that she is finally done. My word, the girl has large litters! I can't get over how skinny she looks now...she looks like a different snake! And she is so light. She just looks very small. Anyway...here is another cute baby pic for your enjoyment:

I have no idea who this is! Lol....

I'd offer her some food, something at least slightly fatty, like a pinky. She'll need to gain some more weight back.

Hope Cee Cee will recover quickly.

I agree with kibakiba you should offer her a pinkie or 2 and if you have reptile vitamins/calcium you should sprinkle a little on the pinkies. Btw cute looking babies

The babies are so cute. Congrats on getting them eating.

[EasternGirl]

Thanks. I have been trying to offer her food often but she keeps turning her nose up at everything still. I have offered her pinkies...her favorite, salmon, talapia, and worms. She just doesn't seem interested yet. I will keep trying though, of course. I will put some repcal on whatever I offer to her.

a forced, yet gentle swim in warmish water might help losen her up and get the rest out.

I have to go out in a bit and I won't be home until late...but I will try that tomorrow.
