Wayne's reptile room

So sorry, Wayne.
I commented on this in another thread, but I can't say it enough. I feel terrible for everyone who lost a snake this Christmas. I hope it's over now.

awe wayne, so sorry to hear that

you are now the fourth person I know to have lost a snake this christmas. what is up with that? I lost a wandering a few days ago, but it was not one of the one's from Don. He was always thinner than everyone else, only wanted to eat half the time, and he was a recluse.. never came out to sunbathe.

I am very glad that your last FL blue is doing okay now. Unfortunately, we that keep many snakes are always going to suffer more losses than those that keep one or two. The more that we have, the greater chance of incident with each individual. Unfortunately, even when we can see it coming, it does not make it easier the moment we find that it has happened.

That's the hard thing... Sometimes I wonder. If I didn't have SO many... I wouldn't have to suffer these losses every now and then. It does help me begin to strive more and more to keep my animals as healthy and happy as they can possibly be!

Again Wayne. So sorry.... Those where gorgeous little ones.

Well to add insult to injury, I just found a dead parietalis in the tank.

Getting ready for feeding, and one of the biggest "alpha" females was belly up.

No apparent reason except to piss me off more.

Some good news, The little Florida blue ate (Again) a small male feeder guppy last night.

He's getting his strength back

I tried Tilapia at first, no interest... So I gave in and fed him a guppy, That he took with gusto!

That is only his second meal since the dehydration incident.

All the humidity in the "damp box" softened up his skin, and I rubbed off a gelatinous mess of a shed, he seems more comfortable now.

Guess I am going to put him in the bow front tank for a while now, after what this guy endured, he needs to be spoiled for a bit.
