Questions about our first garter snake

[chris-uk]

Sorry if this is a little off topic but I need to say that my hubby would be very excited to hear someone reads and knows about these books. He loves them. He has many of them but he is missing a few from the series but he LOVES those books. I will have to let him know when he gets home form work and he will find that very cool.

Char has met Terry (one of the few benefits to her working in a bookshop). I've been reading the books since I was at school and we have every Discworld, including a first edition of his first book "The Carpet People". We're both big Pratchett fans, hence the cat is Mortimer, after Mort. Binky is named after Death's horse. And the next snake will be called Eskerina from Equal Rites. It's a shame that the next book, Snuff, may be his last.

Back on topic with Binky. She's been out and about lots this evening since I got home from work - exploring her viv and being really curious about what we're doing.
I also think her skin is a bit dull, that's the first sign of an upcoming shed isn't it?

Yup, you should notice the belly getting paler than normal first, then in about a week the eyes go blue. Once the eyes go clear again, it's usually about another week before they shed... Or at least that's how it is with my older one. The timeline's a bit different for each snake.
