    Re: New Home Butterscotch

    When we meet I'll give you some compressed aspen pellet to try.
    I'm picking up another load next week.

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

    Re: New Home Butterscotch

    Well Butterscotch has been with us well over two months now, I would say she has past the quarantine stage. Eats, poops, two sheds, everything seems fine. Because she is as young as she is, I never did take her to a vet to have her checked for any worm load she might have being WC, if she has them they don't seem to be a bother for now and she won't be getting a roommate anytime soon so for now I think the girl is fine. I thought I read on a thread where the treatments for the deworming could be stressful and I'd rather not put her through it at this size if I don't need to. Maybe after she has put on some size, or there are plans for her to get a roommate I'll look into it. Pinkies are up again on Wednesday, she missed out last week I got her too full on nightcrawler and she passed on the rodent. This week I'll try to go the other way and see if she will eat the pinky, they were a hit with everyone else.

    Re: New Home Butterscotch

    So I got a handful of tanks on the cheap, less than a dollar per gallon, and today and yesterday got a 20 gal long cleaned up. Butterscotch has been inside since the end of March when found. She lived for about a week and a half in a tub but then was switched to a 10 gal which she adjusted to fine (loved it). So I can only think that she will love the extra space in the 20 long, but can anyone think of any reason not to switch her viv up again? She has had 3 sheds and is eating pinkys, healthy happy snake and growing like a weed. I say she deserves an upgrade. Plus lets face it, she is the princess of the castle.

    Give her the extra space. She deserves it.
