    I just had a girl take a week to pass them. No biggie except one got stuck and is still there a month later. Now she's gone off food and will probably die of septicemia.

    There's one species of snake (Brahminy Blind Snake) that reproduces only through parthenogenesis. Every individual of the species is female and genetically identical to one another.

    That sucks We have another appointment with the exotics vet for Friday if she hasn't passed the rest of them by then. I doubt we'll have to go to that one though, as she's still making progress passing them and only seems to have a couple left.
