Hermes' Diary...

I doubt it but adding another water dish may give you some piece of mind.

Yeah I'm going to do that...thanks.

Hermes is mad at me again because I put his little head in the water dish to make him have some water. Look Hermes, I don't know if you are drinking water or not and I am just trying to take care of you...gimme a break snake! Lol...

Hermes ate half a pinky last night! You should see how fat he is! Ha ha...I put the pinky pieces under his hide like I always do...when I went back to check to see if he had eaten, I looked in his tank and saw this fat little Hermes looking back at me and laughed..."I guess you ate!"...I said. He's fat and happy and basking under his red light in his favorite bush today.

Hermes is so funny. He ate a big piece of pinky tonight and his stomach is all bulging out because he is so small and the pinky piece is like 3 times the size of his little head! He looks so cute after he eats all fat and bulgy...I'm so glad he is eating on a regular schedule now.

Way to go Hermes.

Okay...this is a terrible pic because, again, my camera is dying and I took this under the red bulb...but I just wanted to give you an idea of how much Hermes has grown. He looks so big now! I'll have to measure him later today.

You're doing good Mom.

Everyone in the family was looking at him and laughing at his fat belly this morning...he may have a complex now...lol.

I have a question...and forgive me if I ask ditsy questions, I am still new to some of this stuff. I have never had a baby snake...and I don't really time when Cee Cee and Seeley shed...Hermes has been with me since November 29th....should he have shed by now or no? How often does a baby snake shed?
