New Baby Pix

Glad to hear the shed went well.
Hopefully there were no injuries from the dog.

When I first switched my snakes over to screened front, bottom hinged doors I use a feeding guard on the front.
It's made of two pieces of cardboard which fit on each side of the enclosure. Both pieces together are shorted than the distance across the enclosure so when they are attached they leave an opening in the middle where I feed from.
I don't use them anymore as the snakes have learned where the edge is and very rarely fall out.
They are more interested in coming to me for food.
Spoiled scrubs.

The dog, Dillon, never touched him, he just looked at me and wondered why I gasped when that "odd little object" dropped to the floor. Thank God it wasn't my big alpha male dog (who is usually put away when I feed), that dog probably wouldn't have hurt him but if I drop something at his feet he won't let me have it back until he decides he doesn't want it. Also that dog may have an instinctual fear of snakes.

Good idea about a cardboard guard, I was trying to think of ideas last night. Before I tried to watch and block with my hand but they are so tiny and so darn fast and this time he was so excited about food he was totally unaware of his surroundings! I was just so glad the baby was stunned, he was 5" away from a big cedar chest and if he had dashed under that it would have been tough to find/catch him. That thing is heavy and has the two snake cages on top.

Glad to hear it shedded ok. Tough things

Yeah the perfect shed put my mind at ease, else I would have been fretting for a while. He is out basking now, probably feels like a new snake after the shed.
