My snake log

[Light of Dae]

Wow, been awhile since I did an update...
Everyone is doing great, the flames are viscous eaters and try to attack my fingers, The little Stub tail Radix is awesome n active,(poop looks normal and good) I'll be getting a fecal exam done soon. George is active but still seems lonely, he freaks out being held more then the little ones and since Daffy passed away.

Tanks are almost ready for the new arrivals, just need to buy more paper towels. going to be moving the little radix into a little bigger tank soon too.

Pictures to come!

I would say male but I'm not sure he'll be functional. He's lost most of his tail and it appears very close to the hemipenis pocket.
Glad it is healed and he's doing well.

Yup Stubs is my broken little man He calms down so fast now, n he eats good, loves his worms, never seen a snake eat that fast.. His head just goes from side to side like a quick metronome. Or its like he is watching one of them crazy cat clocks on double time. He will be attacking a second worm before the first one is even down his throat!

Flames are doing good, growing, one just shed perfectly and the other is completely blue. The girl that was all shiny n clear headed didn't musk of anything when I picked her up... The girl in shed... freaked. lol couldn't see what was going on.

Georgey is getting big, just shed. he is getting calmer again with more handling. Still hides when he eats but that is okay, he eats like a horse


Found stuff for new setups at the dollar store. Wooden cube tissue boxes, bottoms slide out for easy cleaning, sealed wooden lattice for climbing on, cheap plastic containers for separate feedings, 12''x12 Plastic plant mat(looks easy to clean n will provide good fun hiding spots, could be strung up.. can see them loving climbing it...)

CANNOT WAIT FOR NEW ARRIVALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He may not be broken at all. Looks like the cut was at subcaudal 7 or 8. His wherewithal may still be intact and functional.
Let him pitch next spring and see how he does.

Let him pitch next spring and see how he does.

I will if I find him a female Radix He is kinda young yet, what age do you figure the start out in the wild?

*Im so miffed I couldn't import any Radix > I want more Radix!!!*

[guidofatherof5]

Not sure. I guess as soon as the girls start smelling good to him.

[Light of Dae]

Lol good answer Steve.

One little Flame is taking forever to shed! The other girl shed in a matter of days.. this one is long past blue eyes n still won't give up her old skin! Anyone think she may be a 'hoarder' ? lol She isn't dried out or anything and has fresh water and a moist moss hide.

Little Stubbs is great n active. Poops good. Loves Pooping in his water though... Brat.
George is doing good too. Got him to eat whilst in my hand... sorta lol

So I finally bought some silversides! Guess what everyone gets to try today lol Everyone is doing great! George is growing n getting way better being held, flames are little weeds n eating machines! The 11 new ones are all doing great, one female Zacapu shed the other day but I had to help her with her tail just before dinner was served... she wasn't happy bout that, she was the only one who did not eat. I started container feeding them to give every one an equal opportunity with the food. It seems to work really well, I will have to go to the dollar store and get a few more containers though, as right now I did the female group first, then the males and stubby. Would be nicer to do them all at once without having to wash dishes in between.

Here is stubby in Cole's big hands(bear paws) lol I thought it was a cute size difference lol
