Silly Snappy

[kibakiba]

So, today I noticed Snap had retained her shed. I misted her tank a bunch and put some extra logs in there for her to rub on. She still hadn't gotten it off after an hour. I decided to be the nice mommy that I am and help her. She did not like that... At all. She played dead. She pooped all over herself, made a weird hissing sound and opened her mouth with her tongue out. The only thing that gave her away was her eyes... You could see her looking at me and looking at the ground. She really stunk... She smelt like she had been rotting for a year. Haha.
Looks like she's been training herself for the next time I try to put medicine on her mouth Maybe I'll get a picture of it next time... She started biting, and I got a bad reaction to it, so I had to put her down to get some antibiotic on my hand.

Did you get the old shed off?

They are so funny sometimes.

Not yet, I misted her some more. Shes getting it off herself, slowly. I don't want to get the medicine that's on my hand on her. She she hasn't gotten it off in 15 minutes I'll wipe off the medicine and help her again. She rubbed her musk and poop in it... So of course the effect is pretty bad

She got it off the top of her head and I got the rest off. She didn't play dead this time... She did musk and hiss a couple times, but after getting it off half way she stopped fussing. Rubbing her back while she was working her muscles made her go faster, she was probably thinking " the faster I get this off the faster I can chew your nose off! "

Snap calmed down enough for me to pick her up and take her outside. She really seemed to enjoy being out in the warm grass. She was a lot calmer afterward and she's continuing to be a lot more calm.

Taming the wild beast.
They do like getting out in the grass.
First time outside babies smell the grass a lot.

[kibakiba]

Yeah, I let all my snakes except the small babies go out. Even Mama, who is put in the grass any time its warm, sits there and rocks her head from side to side while smelling the grass. It's like a new adventure to her every day. It's so cute.
Snaps been sitting out under her lamp, she's usually hiding under her fluff. I hope she'll calm down enough to put back in the tank with the others. Something tells me it won't happen, though.

[kibakiba]

She's done it again! She never ceases to make me laugh. I let her slither around again... I guess she was really feeling like a little wild garter, because when I took a step she took on a little cobra pose, puffed herself up and waved her head back and forth with her mouth open and head flattened. I'm happy have such a large source of entertainment

[kibakiba]

I picked Snap up today because she had something in her mouth, and I lifted her up to my face to see it... This happened.
