Yes, Zeus and Perseus are Cee Cee's babies. The only other living baby was Ariadne...she lives with Mike now. I think I have figured out that Ziggy has some retained shed on her face...which may be blocking her nares and that is why she is mouth breathing. But I have no idea what to do about it....handling her stresses her too much. I put some moist moss in, in the hope that it will help to get it off. I might have to put her in a shed box...but I don't know if she can handle the stress.

Cee Cee looks so innocent... Are you sure she's the biter? She hides it so well.

I know...she always gives me this cute face when she looks out of her enclosure at me...then I put my hand in and she gets this mean look on her face and attacks. I have decided that she is bipolar. Do they make snake Lithium? Lol....

Love the pics! You're kids are so adorable And Little Joe looks so much like Tallie!


For Ziggy I hope she's able to get that shed off her face. She's such a cute girl

Good looking group.

Sounds bipolar to me, lol... Silly girl, hasn't anyone told her that she's not supposed to bite the hand that feeds her?

[EasternGirl]

I have had many discussions with her...she just looks at me like "Yeah, whatever lady...put that hand in here again and see what happens!". Poor Ziggy, she does seem a bit perkier since I put a heat lamp on her and have been uping the humidity in her tank. Sometimes I look in on her and think she is one step away from death, and then I look in again and she seems okay. Only time will tell I guess. Emily, little Joe is the sweetest snake...you will really enjoy having Tallie...be prepared though, if she is anything like Joe, she will be a major pig snake!

Can anyone recommend the best bulb to use if I want to have light on my babies but not hurt Little Joe? It's just too dark for the babies with a red bulb...and Joe is not big enough to put in with my other albinos yet.

I think my snake is bipoler too.When I have food with me she's like "Give me food now!" and chases my hand around the cage if I'm not shoveling it in fast enough.The rest of the time shes the most timid little snake.Very odd

Great looking bunch you have, and a bunch it is. I think I'm happy with my trio (but would love to have Cleo back). As for lighting, have you tried the light blue color bulbs? I guess it would be worth the few $$ to test it out.
