    Re: Ribbon Snake Photo Thread

    I can't say I've seen many young ribbons and someone correct me if I'm wrong but the snake looks too lean. No offense intended.
    What is your feeding schedule?

    They are not just snakes. They're garter snakes.

    Re: Ribbon Snake Photo Thread

    Oh no!
    Well I've only had him for not even 2 weeks and today is the third time I've fed him. The first time I fed him I gave him two rosy red minnows(then soon after realized my mistake). Then about 4 days later i gave him 4 silversides, and today(4 days later) I gave him 4 more. Is that too much? Or does he just need more fat on him? I haven't gotten him any earthworms or pinkies yet.
    He's my first snake so I'm still new to this:P

    BTW, They seem to be relativley small silversides too. About maybe 1 or 1.5 inches, I don't know what the average size is for them.

    Re: Ribbon Snake Photo Thread

    Steve I wanted to ask you about your Shyblue. I'm noticing Proximus' markings on his black sections seem to be almost a light blue color. Veeery pretty. I'm wondering does your girl have that color(I can't really see in her pic), or is that the common color for their little spots?
    I just noticed the blue coloring the other day after he shed and had a belly full of fish
