Re: Its oh so quiet Shh Shh

it was my female xenochrophis vittatus
now I have one male left
he was the one in the best condition when I first got them and he is in fine shape now
they were all scarred and had weird lumps and sores when I first got them, and most of it resolved
the other male I lost during the move and he later turned up dead in the basement
when these things happen I have to remind myself that I have over twenty snakes and a few other critters that are doing very well
somehow I feel so responsible
like - if I were really good at this, I could have saved them, even if they were in poor shape to begin with
I want to get better at this
but in the future, perhaps, if I want to save animals, I'll stick to the rescue, rather than buying wild caught asian imports
