Marnie's Snakes

[EasternGirl]

Yep. Bella from an expo. Mike got a concinnus there that had parasites.

In other news...Cee Cee has lost her friggin mind! She just attacked me...bit me several times with an open mouth...drew blood. She has never bitten me...she usually only false strikes when she is being defensive...but she is really angry with me for some reason...she is even striking at me through the glass. Giving me the death stare. She had something in her eye and I had to grab her and get it out...that might have done it. She might also be angry about all the daily soaking...she really hates swimming...and all of the changes in her environment.

LOL sorry, gotta laugh... Lost her mind.. no, Pissed off, yes. I think she realized that her false striking wasn't enough n it was time to let you know SHE HATES SWIMMING lol

Give her hell Cee Cee.

It definitely has something to do with the daily soakings, I had a docile boa who was a bit constipated so I started giving her daily soakings for a week and after the 3rd soaking she became extremely hostile striking at me whenever she saw anyone get close to her tank. After that I stopped with the daily soakings and I had to cover the front of her enclosure with a towel because I was afraid she was going injure herself with the numerous daily strikings at the glass. After a week she finally calmed down.

No bath!

[EasternGirl]

Lol...yeah...she strikes at me through the glass and bangs her nose up against it. Now, I have pissed her off even more because I thought she had a retained shed around her eye and I had to take her out and mess with it while she was flailing all over and musking the crap out of me. She is seriously ticked off. Everytime I get near the tank, she coils up like a rattler ready to lunge and strike. I have bite marks on my fingers and she is foaming at the chops ready to go at me again!!

Sorry to hear all this...I can't really help but laugh at all the comments too, though I hope she'll calm down soon!

She's doing a little better. I purchased some Mite Off...the stuff that you can actually put on the snake for mites. I noticed that the mites seem to be gone from the surrounding area...but they are still on the girls. Cee Cee is probably pissy because she feels like crap from the mites. The Mite Off is all natural so that it doesn't harm the snake. I will put some on the girls today. I also treated everything in the enclosure a second time.

Sadie and Ziggy both shed. I'm glad Ziggy shed...because maybe that explains his behavior the other day. Maybe he will feel better now. Maybe Sadie shedding took some of the mites off of her...so maybe she feels better too.

Shedding takes all the mites off.

Mites are parasites.
