    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Taz is wonderful! What type of wood chips are you using? You'll want to stay away from the pine family as it causes respiratory problems and scale irritation.

    Are you aware that pine animal bedding is manufactured from kiln dried wood, and all the terpenes have been extracted at the plant to manufacture other products?

    This "not suitable for animals" is a common paranoid misconception, If animal bedding were manufactured from "green" unprocessed pine, it would be so sticky no one would buy it.

    A few new pictures of her!!

    Swimming with her dinner (that she still hasn't eaten yet) I'm thinking the platy might be too big for her, not sure, if she hasn't eaten by tomorrow Im going to get her a smaller platy or a guppy.


    And a few cute others!






    Does she look duller to you guys? Maybe she's getting ready to shed?

    Good photos I like it when they stop in the head off the ground looking at the camera pose when you get the white of the belly too. It's hard to tell if she's duller from photos, they get progressively more dull as they get closer to shedding.
    Keep trying her on other foods as well as the platy, salmon fillet, works and pinky pieces. One of those will catch her fancy.
