Marnie's Snakes

[mikem]

Nice to see Ziggy! Awesome that you have a camera now

[kueluck]

Is she really that tan/brown?? I love the coloration on her, nice.

[EasternGirl]

Yes..thanks to Steve for giving me one of his old cameras! She is a light tan/olive color...it's interesting. She is much lighter than other easterns I have found around here. She (still not positive about the sex) is very thin still...but loves to eat worms. I am not sure if there is a parasite thing going on or not. I don't have any money for the vet. I just hope she plumps up some.

On another note...everyone has been shedding! Cee Cee had trouble with her shed today. I had to take her out and try to help her with it...I was succeeding in getting pieces off but she was getting really upset and musking all over me. I put her in a shed box for a little bit...I will let her rest some and check tomorrow for any left pieces of shed...I do know that she got the eyecaps, head, neck and tail off...so that is good.

Everyone is shedding...one after the other! Sadie is soaking a lot...so I think she will be next. Today was feeding day...everyone got tilapia. Everyone gobbled the food down except for little Athena. She really concerns me...she may be a case of FTT. She ate a couple of bites of worm a couple of days ago...but not much. Oh...and I forgot...Zeus would not eat because he is about to shed.

I took a nap today and had a horrible dream that a storm hit and it broke the enclosure that Cee Cee and Sadie are in. I was looking all over and I found Sadie but I couldn't find Ceecers anywhere...I was terrified that she was dead. I woke up and had to run to check on her...she came out to great me as if she knew I needed to see her. I don't know what it is about her...but I just have this bond with her...she is everything to me.

I hope Athena starts getting an appetite soon. And sorry about your dream! It's always good to wake up and see that it wasn't real, when you have a bad dream.

Marnie, is Cee Cee your first? I think your "first" in anything is always more special. Happy to hear it was just a dream.

[EasternGirl]

Actually, she is my second. I found Seeley when he was a baby, stuck in a spider web in my basement...then I found Cee Cee a few months later in my flower bed. Of course...I love Seeley...but he has a different personality. He is very shy and timid. I think Cee Cee is my kindred spirit. She can be sweet...but she has spunk...don't mess with her!

I often have dreams in which my animals have escaped in some way and I am trying to find them. I guess I just carry my "worried mom neurosis" into my sleep.

A spider web?!?! He had to have been teeny

I have those pretty often...I actually just had one last night Maybe it was after reading about your bad dream

[EasternGirl]

Sorry about that! Last night I had a dream I was dating one of my ex's again and he had a mullet! Ha ha ha...

Well, Seeley was about 7 inches when I found him...he was on the floor of my basement and his tail was caught up in a web so he couldn't move. We used to have garters under our house...our basement is unfinished...so they would get under the house and into the rafters above the basement and then fall into the basement. Two babies fell right from the same place and landed in the same exact spot. We haven't had anymore for a couple of years though.

caught in a spider web!! *shudders at the thougth* All the more reason to KILL spiders.
