I realize you probably get tired of this joke, but someone had to post it.

No problem.

No problem.

This is already out of hand.

I'm not even going to tell you how long it took me to understand this

Cool...thanks, Dae. I kept sticking my head in Cee Cee's tank trying to see if I could smell anything from the bark. I didn't notice anything...and like I said, she doesn't seem to be having any breathing issues with it...and she has respiratory issues, as you know. Thanks for the info.

here are a couple pictures of Bob the Snake...100_0701.jpg100_0703.jpg

Thanks for the pics, he looks great

[EasternGirl]

Wow...he looks so much like my Cee Cee. Beautiful snake! If I can make a suggestion, when you feed Bob, put paper towels down over the substrate and then put his food dish down on the paper towels. Try to cover as much of the substrate as you can. That way if he drags the food off of his dish, he won't get substrate on the food and ingest it. Ingesting substrate can cause serious problems for a garter...it can cause stomach obstructions which can be fatal.

Bob is a great looking snake!

That's a dapper garter. Do you mean you don't want to handle him ever? You're probably trying to respect his space by not handling him, but a tame garter is a lot easier to care for or take to the vet if there are problems.
