Wayne's reptile room

That is only his second meal since the dehydration incident.

I guess I didn’t find the thread on this snake.
So I'll ask?
How did you recognize he was he hydrated? I can only think that his not eating and skinny body mass?

Here you go Michael, it's this same thread just back a ways.

Bummer day in the reptile room....

Two days ago I fed my little Florida blues I got from Shannon, they ate some salmon and a half pink each.

I just went in there and thought to myself, gee these guys are usually all over the place, yet only one was "out and about"

So I lifted up the hide, and found 3 of them dead

The salmon went straight to the Garbage can!!!!!

I just changed the substrate and water, have my fingers crossed for the remaining snakie, they all ate from the same food that night, and they all still had their bulge in the middle from the meal.

I exceeded my grief quota for the year already, so I am rather cheesed off about it instead of sad.

Here is my tough little guy eating his guppy..




And one of my red sided kids...

Thanks everyone.

The little Florida is back with a vengance, he ate 4 chunks of Tilapia for me tonight.

I'm only power feeding to get his weight back up.

Here is a cute pic of "Muttley" taken tonight. The "hide" is an aquarium decoration I got for free, He likes it.

Ty and I did read this. So the only indicator of dehydreation was finding them DOA?

[infernalis]

Well I had no idea, it was a very weird thing.

The water bowl was full, the same water bowl they have had....

The one that survived was sick for about 2 weeks, He's finally coming back for me.

I have re-thought the whole system for the survivor.

Figuring that Florida is the wettest most humid state in the union, The winter dry air must have taken it's toll.

So my sole survivor is now housed in a poly tote with the lid on, and I am using coconut fiber, kept damp to where their is condensation on the walls of the box.

His appetite has returned, and he's a spunky little snake again.
