Pugets Re Deaux

Zoey... It doesn't always happen the day after. Like some time, depending on species (and prolly circumstances) it can happen as long as a week later. It was a day, two, three - I didn't count - with my Blues Boy.

Winne, the garter at the park, it seems to go a week. As does Ripley, the bull snake there.

Go figure.

Just wanted you to know so that if next time it's more than one day you're not giving yourself and ulcer.

Thanks Gertie!!! You know I would freak out all over again. Glad to know that.

[Garter_Gertie]

Yeah, Sweetie... Thass what I thought and why I mentioned it.

Once you get your first year under your belt, I think you'll be much less nervous.

It's hard not knowing and caring so much. Wanting to do what's right and the best and afraid of the unknow/unexperienced. Is this normal? Did I do somthing wrong? Is my baby okay? What should I do?

You're doing fine, Zoey; you're doing fine.

I woke yesterday to a second shed in the Puget tank. Heheheheh!

And last nite laying on the couch watching TV, I was able to watch Peepers or Jeepers out skulking and inspecting the entire tank.

Was a good day.

I'm waiting on a shed any day now too Frack was blue on Saturday, then clear yesterday... Frick is looking dull, but no cloudy eyes that I've seen Really love these growing boys!!!

[Garter_Gertie]

Well. I learned a lesson tonite. Those snigglettes that eat a lot, poopy a lot! LOL!

Did quite a bit of spot pick-up in The Blues Brothers' tank and will HAVE to do major cleaning this weekend! We got tinckle dust all over the place!

And, just like Rick said, these guys CANNOT be left alone with fish. They beat the tar outta each other! Tug-o-wars BIG time! Bite the food, bite the head, go for the neck... They're not nice brothers! LOL!!!

And they STUFF themselves! I mean STUFF! But then squiggle it way farther down than any snake I've ever seen. To the point where they look boa-like - skinny up near head/neck and AS BIG AS MY THUMB way farther down. VERY weird looking and not what I'm used to.

Gertie,
I just realised that in my absence, you've managed to acquire a hell of a lot of snakes.
Way to go, girl! Pretty good for someone who claimed to be ascared of 'em for so long.

[Garter_Gertie]

So nice to have you back, Anj. I so missed your humor and chattiness.

Thank you very much! I have come'a ways. It is fun to look back to those days when I wouldn't even go near Ripley. Now I live to come home to pester and feed snakes!

[Garter_Gertie]

Zoe, no. I need to work on the new tank.

'Ster... 'Rockster is a HUGE, BIG MO'FO and eating me outta HOUSE AND HOME!!!

He is a good boy and calm, but wiggley, when I pick him up. He's a sweet boy.

[GartersRock]

LOL! That's my boy!!
