Re: YAY!!! i found my first snake

Re: YAY!!! i found my first snake

if it liked up with your female and started "pulsing" it is almost definately a male.




or a highly confuse female.

Re: YAY!!! i found my first snake

need more pics.. still wouldn't have put it with the female till it was safe.. but hay damage may already be done.. even in the likely chance it was male i still wouldn't rush things.. the best things in life are meant to be waited for.. I would have waited and quarantined it.. My garter i found in the wild because my cat was trying to kill it took it up to 6-7 months before the parasites took it's life.. so there is a reason we tell you this and not just look the other way..

Re: YAY!!! i found my first snake

That's a really nice snake you've found, Shanley! But I also agree you should have quarantined it first. Parasites are sneaky little devils, and can show up weeks after you've found a new snake. Hopefully everything will work out for you!

Re: YAY!!! i found my first snake

Yeah... as soon as i came back down and read those posts i took him out... but i've never quarentined them before and i dont know when they're safe or how long to keep them away from the others.....
Also could he have given her parasites from just a few minuites of interaction??????
