Marnie's Snakes

Steve just plain rocks! He is always there to help me when I have no money and need something. Steve...you are the true definition of a friend.

The new boy...I think he ate a couple of bites of worm last night. Ziggy is still terrified of people. He loves to eat his worms...but he jumps clear across the tank if I put my hand in there. The girls are crazy eaters! I have to take them out to feed them so they don't attack each other. I had no free feed tubs since my snake rescue seems to be up and running...I had to take each girl out and lay her on a towel to eat. Both girls were going crazy trying to bite anything that moved...in a total feeding frenzy, thrashing around and striking at their pinks. My girls.....

I am now up to 14. Found another one in the basement in the exact same spot...a little bigger than the last one...but this one is a biter. I now have another bandaid on my finger. Fiesty little bugger. I am out of room. I think these last two will be taken to the state park/creek and relocated. Ziggy has to stay because I still think she/he is sick. Athena, of course, will stay because she is just a tiny little thing.

You gotta start charging them room fee's.

Seriously. I am out of tubs for keeping new quarantined snakes and for using as feed tubs. I think I am going to keep that cute little new guy though. He is a sweetie. I'm thinking about naming him Pretty Boy...think it will give him a complex?

[RedSidedSPR]

I'm sure.

I have decided to name the new little snake I'm going to keep, Peanut. I will call him Pretty Boy when no one is around though...lol. Snapper...the biter...is hiding all the time. I really think that he and Ziggy need to be released...but it is starting to get cold around here especially at night. Plus...Ziggy's health still concerns me. I got him to eat some worms with vitamins on them last night. Hoping that will help. Anyone want a fiesty little eastern that likes to bite? He's just scared...he actually hasn't tried to bite me when I stick my hand in the tub to check on him. I need to find homes for some of these snakes.

I wouldn't do that. Those snakes know where they want to spend the winter. They follow scent trails back to the same den every winter. If you relocate them, they will likely wander around lost and end up not finding a den this winter. Relocating now will just doom them.

I think I have decided to keep them for the winter and then try to find homes for them or put them outside. What am I supposed to do though if the area where I found them isn't really safe for them?

With limited resources, sometimes its best to just let nature take its course.
