Happy new year to you too! And everyone else! I'm still stuffed from cheese logs, spinich dip and bacon wrapped jalapenos from last night. What a party :D On a...
Thank you Lady V and Happy New Year to you all in Texas. What a way to start the New Year by including your snakes:) I hope that this New Year brings better...
... OH Paul--how awful. It is really quite cold here in our part of New Mexico. The sun is shining (barely) and it is only 26 out. It was in the teens earlier ...
I've gone ahead and put sheets over the parts of the cages that don't have lamps on them. *sigh* Hopefully they'll be ok! The lamps and heater have it so that...
... You could make a "hot rock" of a milk jug filled with warm water. You'd have to do it fairly frequently, but that's the breaks. Also, you could always...
... Hey, that is a good idea:) Another idea is to get some "bed buddies". They are clothed tubes of barley that one heats in the microwave. I use those when I ...
... I always wondered what those grain pillows were made of! Have to be careful there are no herbs in them that might irritate the snake, but that's a good...
... Nice to know the hand heaters would work. The bed buddies don't have any herbs in them---just grains of barley. My husband uses them too for sinus ...
... You mean you laughed about when Peton peed on me? :))) Take it as a warning. It felt like a leaky diaper. :( I had to change my pjs *and* wash myself...
I had an education event today, before I had to go to work. It was pretty nice out, except some overcast clouds, but not too cold, thankfully. The event was...
Heh, at least he is a small guy. Bigger Kings can give a pretty painful nip. -Adam "You killed him?" Garion asked in a shocked voice. "Of course I didn't kill...
Yeah, the last kingsnake was bigger, and stayed attached a little longer. But, I didn't get pictures of him. He was for sale at a herp show a few years ago....
... I have been bitten by a 6-7 year old king (5 ft. long) and it didn't hurt. He wouldn't let go either and I had to spray him with some vanilla mist:) I ...
yeah, you might feed yours a little more often, we only feed our snakes about once every 2 weeks or so. Kat ... -- Talk to you later, Kat Education Coordinator...
... No Kat, I only feed once every 2 or 3 weeks. When they are babies, they get fed once every 7-10 days but when they get older, it is 2-3 weeks. And I don't ...
How can a person let a snake sleep next to them without the snake escaping? I've never known a snake to stay put if it has an avenue of escape available....
... First of all, Jason, you didn't read the question about sleeping with a snake:) You bag the snake so it is contained and therefore, can't escape the ...
that's true too. So, we do feed about the same time frame. :o) Now, I don't feel so bad either. I don't stuff ours either. I hate the smell of regurgitated...
and to add to what Ssmacek's said, if you pull a snake off once it's bitten and doesn't want to let go, you get 100 - 200 paper cuts all at once all close...
With all due respect, I don't remember getting a sore that was the equivalent of 100-200 paper cuts when I pulled a garter snake off my chin at least twice....
If this was 30+ years ago, how can you be certain what was more painful? I suppose to a child, anything of the sort would seem painful. Kids do cry over the...
... You were lucky, Jason. The snake probably let go just as you pulled him off otherwise, the snake would have ripped your skin when you pulled. ... "If you...
... Ummmm---that king didn't bite me---it was the lavender albino:) My fault, he was hungry and I didn't wash my hands when I picked him after feeding another ...
... Peton (5 ft Ball Python) got me but good not long ago. The bite itself did not hurt, but the wrap and squeeze bruised my arm half way to my elbow....
I don't think it was quite 30 years ago, but it was pretty close. It happened when I was either in kindergarten or first grade when I was walking home from...
You have that right, Steph! I didn't feel any pain when the little brat was biting me, he was just not willing to let go because he thought he had dinner. I...
Kindergarden or first grade? and you think you can remember that well? My son's 16 and he vaguely remembers going to Disneyland when he was in second grade,...
How many snakes have some hearing capability? I remember reading that some of them have a little hearing in the books Boas and Other Non-Venomous Snakes but...
I was looking for a new top for the 55 gallon tank that Serpi will be moving into soon, so I went to check them out at the one pet store that I actually trust....
