Ranch Concinnus'

That is awesome!

Checking on my T.s.concinnus group I found 8 new sheds. That 8 sheds in 24 hours.

They must be female and synchronised.
Although that does raise an interesting point, this is a real coincidence isn't it? Snakes don't synch their shedding just because they live together in the same conditions?

Ours do. Right now Toothless and Willow are in blue, Cotton and Blade will follow by about a week, then Fish Bait and Maria after. They are like clockwork together.

My concinnus and anery just shed in literally the same 5 minutes as each other.

Today tilapia was on the menu for this group. I was one day behind their normal feed day and it showed.
I was met with a rush of hungry (probably angry) snakes. I had to rapid fire the food to them.
Then it started. I've never seen so much tail slapping in my life and on top of that they were slinging musk.
All I could do was laugh at their behavior. Even with a mouth full of food they were challenging each other.
In all my years I have never seen anything like it.
It was a concinnus smackdown.
I love them but they need to be housed with some radixes to learn some manors.

Okay, okay manners.
Time to up my meds.

I was wondering about the shedding thing...I have noticed that Seeley has been going into shed mode when he sees Cee Cee go into shed mode. It's happened the last couple of sheds. The last time she turned opaque...boom! He followed....and went into some sort of warp-speed shed process like he was trying to catch up to her. Now this time her eyes went blue...and boom! He was shiny one minute and then he started to go dull....it's so very interesting! I just love it! Garters are just fascinating!

I'm guessing feeding cycles and snakes of the same age have a lot to do with this incident.

I realized tonight that Cee Cee may be older than I originally thought...to completely change the subject for a moment...but if she is in fact the snake that I think she is...the one that was living behind my house...then my mother says that she was back there for at least 3 years that she knows of before I took her in...and I have had her for almost a year now...and she was full grown when I found her...so I would say 5 years old at least. How long do garters usually live in captivity?
