Marnie's Snakes

Good news! The babies just ate! They all gobbled up some worm pieces. They really seemed to enjoy them. And I have never seen such polite babies before...they actually took turns eating. One would go up to the dish and eat a few bites, then he would leave and then the next one would go up. The only concern is that one baby wandered off the paper towel and ate a little moss. Gail...to answer your question...I don't believe she is too young. I believe that she lived under the stairs at the back of my house for 2-3 years before I took her in. Who knows how long she was around before that. I don't think she is really old though...she is still very active. I think she simply tries to retain her litters for whatever reason. It may have to do with her being wild caught and feeling that she needs to protect the babies. Like I said, for that reason...because it seems to stress her out so much...I will not breed her again. I am very thankful for the three little ones that she had that lived! And I am very thankful to have her. I do hope that she gets through all of this...Cee Cee is a tough girl...that I know.
