Rush's Thamily!!

Yeah, got you. I understand totally. The susceptibility of hatchlings overall is a thin line. I did think she was older though. You said less than 1 month? The whole shjpping experience and new environment. Like you said who knows what congenital defects she had. We all do the best we can and hope for the best. Sorry again.

Betty was a cb from a wc. I only kept 3 of the 37 or so scrubs born she seemed to be thriving and was about 7 weeks old when I sent her but I know as well as anyone things can turn fast with babies Sorry to hear she's gone

On a possitive note the other girls are doing good. Joan is still being picky about eating (eating some but not filling herself) but she doesn't seem to be losing weight and I'd imagine she's just still getting used to her new home. Eliza is as ravenous as ever about food. Just trying to keep things fresh for them in QT by rearranging things for them every time I change their bedding (every 2-3 days, they are poop monsters).

its not good to let them gorge themselves Joan is just trained to eat what she needs lol

Didn't know she was that old, okay. I guess scrubs come in all sizes, especially in a big litter? Thanks for the condolences though, and thanks for letting her have a home with me for her short time.

Eastern babies are one of the smallest

Sorry to hear about your loss. R.I.P. Betty

[AntTheDestroyer]

Sorry for the loss Rush. At least you gave the little girl the best life she could have while she was around.

There were many indicator of a possible retained shed. A moist shed box isn't usually enough for some of these snakes, a wet shed box is. At times they will have to stay in a shed box for as much as 24 or more hours unless you intervene and help them get the shed off.

Well Eliza is in blue again already. Eyes were milky and all her colors very faded and kinda pastelish. Gonna try and let her do her thing but I'm keeping an eye out for any problems. I don't foresee any though as she performed her last shed flawlessly.

Forgot to update, Eliza had another perfect shed a on Sunday. Joan has been acting a little out of the ordinary (what little I have of her ordinary behavior). I left the humid hide in there and she has spent alot of the past 4 days in there, sometimes hours at a time. She didn't seem to show any hints of being in blue and considering her skimpy appetite I'm sure she's not grown enough to even warrant a shed (pretty sure it's been about 3 weeks now since she shed last maybe less). Is this concerning? I'm just a bit worried she's gonna go getting herself scale rot sitting in there so long but I'd imagine she would come out and dry herself when she feels it absolutely necessary. Should I be concerned any? Perhaps she thinks my ambient here (usually around 40-50) is too dry?
