Tragic,Preventable Death

[Snakers]

sorry to hear it steve..

It's horrible to kill something you love like this by accident. A very unfortunate mistake. You always do what you can Steve and something positive has come out of it.
A good idea/simple solution. All those with bottom hinged doors take note.

Hey Steve, these things happen. Live, learn, correct the problem. BTW, I killed a baby concinnus last week and I wasn't about to go telling everyone but since you did...

I moved a piece of mopani wood and I was sure no snake was under it. I was wrong. I found a baby with his head smashed a day later. Broke my heart. This snake just happened to be unique too. I could pick him out of the entire bunch. Not happy about it at all. He was one I had planned to keep.

I've been working on finding some kind of material to use in place of the bicycle inner tube. I would need a lot of tubes to fix my problem.
I first thought about using a pond liner but was told it wasn't very flexible.
Then I called a roofing company and found that the rubberized material they used would work great.
The only problem is I would have to spend $120.00. That would be enough to fix a thousand enclosures. I don't have a thousand, yet
So, I made a phone call to a friend and he delivered just what I needed. Much more than I need but it was free. It pays off having good friends.

You get what you give Steve.

You get what you give Steve.

Thank you. My mother would be proud.

It's called "Paying it forward"

The installation of the S.E.D.(Snake Extruder Device, patent pending) continues.
I'm learning as I'm going. First, feed the little monsters or they will give you no peace while you work.

My new concinnus, Ember gives me no piece when I'm doing stuff in the tank! He's always so hungry. The first day I got him and his sister he snatched worms off my finger as if he were starved and even tried swallowing my whole finger even after being fed he comes over and begs for more. I don't blame him though, he's growing a lot! he's grown 3-4 inches since I got him.
Even Runt will sometimes come up to my hand to see if I have food (probably since I use my fingers to feed them) and will slither around my hand and give a few squeezes. They are such little pests when I'm on "poop patrol" or changing the water.

They are just doing their job. Isn't their curiosity something. After they trust you they just want to know what's going on.
Little punks.
