Gertie's Gravid!

[aSnakeLovinBabe]

so glad to hear you got your babies!
Sadly, two years ago, I had no idea who bob was and what he did... and I got suckered.

I ordered 1.2 and I lost 1.1 within the month! I still have the bigger female though... my treasured Bluebie! she SHOOTS out of her cage and onto my lap every dinner time. She will sit tehre on my lap with her head in the air.. mouth ever so slightly open! its silly how trained that snake is... or rather how much she has ME trained

here's my Bob survivor...

[GartersRock]

Awww!! She is gorgeous!! Those Bob survivors are so special...

Cute about her begging habits.

Sky was from Bob, Cost $100 in vet bills! Came with mites and infections.

She is gorgeous, Shannon.

My connection keeps dying. I get a bunch o'stuff typed and then WHAM! It gets blown away. Literally. I think there's another storm moving in. The temp is dropping, there's a really nice cool breeze, and the screens are whistling and the windows rattling every once in awhile.

I'm still finding it hard to believe there are two darling snakes in my front room. I looked for what feels like FORVER outside, in pet stores - everywhere I went I'd case the area wondering if it was good snake territory. Sheesh! Dashu goes out today and finds THREE snakes! I can't find my not-so-small butt with both hands!

I am so glad I found this place for many reasons. I wish we all lived close so we could get together and socialize. But I guess talking will have to do. It's really nice to have others that understand and feel my joy and happiness. It's fun to share this with appreciative friends!

YIKES! On the vet bills, Dekay.

P & J seem pretty healthy. I've managed to hug'um and kiss'um and I've no little red bugletts swarming on me.

Good lord but yearlings are wee things! Say, you know... I could easily handle about three more yearlings in that 20 gal L, without ANY PROBLEMS whatsoever!

I want to thank you all, especially you Dekay, for being here and sharing your time and expertise - and your snakes. It means a lot to me to have you guys and this forum. (sniff, sniff... "Group hug!")

Shannon, This photo, is the bomb! Nice!! I like your photography.

[GartersRock]

Well. Didn't get to sleep until after 1:00 AM. Was up at 4:30 AM. Had to run out to the living room and double check:

1. P&J were real and it wasn't a dream.
2. They were still in the tank.

Both were true, but Peepers has given me my firstest heart attack. Could NOT find him. Tore apart the entire tank. Of course he was in the LAST place I looked - under one o'the plant pots. While I'm doing this PeeWee is going nutz on the floor with what I believed to be Peepers. Fortunately it was just a blind cord. WHEW!

The Boys are packed up (in their shipping container, in their snake bag, in the shipping box...) and I've got all the stuff I need to keep them cosy today - substrate (gotta do something about the substrate in the tank. Looks GORGEOUS but is not practical not to mention too dusty. Back to the drawing board on substrate), heater, swimming pool and rocks. Park has tank(s).

So! The Boys and I are off like a prom dress for P&J's Big Adventure! Pics to follow!

P, J, Gertie

Ok, today must be the day for "loosing" snakes in their own darn tank... so I haven't seen Desdemona out for a while-- several days-- which is a switch from her usual pacing the tank lately. I go to look for her this morning and can't find her, not in her usual hide, not anywhere. I'm looking in every single nook and cranny in that tank and starting to freak out-- of course I haven't seen her, she's escaped, I just know it, even with the top very well weighted down...

So I take a step back to regroup, and stare at that damn tank...

And Desdemoma peeks her head out of the BIRDHOUSE. The one that's HANGING ON THE BACK WALL OF HER TANK. LOLOLOL How blonde am I????? I looked all over the floor and my eyes never once went to that birdhouse that I myself hung in there... Oy!!!

Did I ever mention I'm also of Polish descent?? Yeah. A blonde Polack. No offense to anyone else Polish, of course, as I myself hail from there in the distant past.
