Bad News and Good News

Bad news... found Ghost corn today in a spasm of sorts. Thrashing, spinning, and the poor thing went limp. So I tried to just, I don't know what I was thinking, WILL the poor thing to live, rubbing her, saying "Don't give up, girl" etc. Well, although she pulled out of it for a while, she was dead when I got home from riding today. RIP Ghostie.

Good news, I picked up some Guppies for my garter babies, James and Ernestine. James had shed, and was apparently HUNGRY as he's been the absolute BEST hunter!!!!!! I don't even know if he let Ernestine have any!!!! They were really tiny guppies, so I don't think they'll replace their next meal, but I'm sure they loved their treat! Next time I'll have the camera ready, and post some hunting/fishy-eating pics!

I am so taken with how much you love those little guys, I love seeing pictures of them!!

was the ghost corn one of those nonfeeders? My two are still hanging in the delicate balance ATM. Sorry to hear it!

Condolences for the loss, happy for the other.

I (like Shannon) also "dig" how much you care about your garters.

Not that I don't love mine that much also, but it always nice to see new keepers who REALLY love their snakes and take such great care!!!

it even better when they are babies that you yourself raised and sold hoping their new home would be a great one

I point that out every time Stephanie shows off her Dekayi snakes.

Stephi, i am so sorry to hear about your ghost corn, Ghostie!! My condolences!

Sounds like James and Ernestine, are doing well!!!

I too love it when I see how much all animals are well taken care of & thought of as more than just a pet!!

Thanks for the condolences, and Shannon, thanks for breeding such great babies!

Yes, Ghostie was a non-feeder from Adam. More good news, though, at the same pet store that has the guppies, he has some live day-old pinkies coming in today, so we'll be trying to get a feeding response from the other two that are left that don't eat. One blood red is doing fine on F/T so he is out of the woods. I don't think we'll give him a live, since I don't want him to think he has the option.

And I have to pick up a fishbowl, I got some preggers guppies in the batch, so Jimmy and Erni can have treats on the regular if I can get the babies to live!!!! I LOVE free treats!
