But they are from different species... All of them!

Hi!
Izy just shed and ate a smelt. Finally.

But the funny thing is - he, Nefri and Vita shed in a period of 3 hours! Corn, garter and milk! WUT! Amon shed a week ago. Is this possible, that snakes do actually synchronise their shedding? No, srsly - what are the odds that three of my four snakes shed at the same time?

654,980 to 1

Well, that was just amazing.

I have seen it happen, Bart. I have witnessed Cee Cee shed and then Seeley immediately go into shed mode as if on cue. I've seen my albinos do it too. It's pretty interesting to think about...to wonder if one snake shedding somehow signals another to do the same.

Our snakes have their sheds around the same time too.

Hi, remember me?

Meet Aurora. I found her one month ago. I'm not sure, if you can see how small she is (you may not be familiar with polish coins), but she's tiny like a newborn garter snake. That's strange, because she had to be born last year. Any snake I saw was way bigger than she is. I write "she" - because I'm pretty sure it's a female. I didn't mention about her before, because I wasn't sure if I'll keep her - she's so tiny I had doubts if she's even eating; she shouldn't be that small for a yearling - and she couldn't hatch this year, because it's too soon. I have a theory, that she was a typical non-eater that somehow managed to survive winter. Anyway, she didn't eat for a first week and then she ate a first guppie. Now she's eating live guppies and sometimes smelts, though she doesn't like them very much, just like Izy. She doesn't eat worms. Her poop looks healthy so I assume she doesn't have any parasites, probably because she hasn't much meals after her birth (little chance to catch some bug). She'll one day join Izy - and I hope they won't make love. Hope you like her... I like to think I saved her life. She's so tiny...

Nice to see you on Bart. Of course we remember you.
Sweet looking snake.
