Ha, you should see my room, what a mess!

What's puzzling is that he's pooped four or five times since I've had him, and then again whilst I force fed him. What could he possibly be defecating?

It can take as much as two weeks to empty the gut of a garter for brumation. He is just pooping previous meals.

But the fact that he is pooping is a great sign! Blocked (impacted) animals usually don't poop.

Re: Please Help, lawnmower injury
Thank you, sir. And thanks to everyone who helped me out with his little guy. I couldn't have done it without you all. And a special thanks to James, this snake owes his life to you buddy. Cheers.

I'll still pop in from time to time.

Thankyou, Nick. But I think the credit's all yours! Great news, should be plain sailing from here on in.

Re: Please Help, lawnmower injury
Sure I deserve some of the credit but if it weren't for you I probably would have just taken a shovel to his head from the very beginning.

Now for my next trick: getting him on pinkies.
