yeah - I noticed the raw spot, but because the lighting was poor, my eyesight isn't great, and I have no idea whether they're not supposed to look like that, I didn't realize that that's what it was until I looked at the photo when I got home - poor snake, eh?

that's why I was so very happy that my old vet was there to check over the beardie - I can't really totally trust that I'm seeing everything right
the beardie, btw is great - a fantastic find
she's not anywhere near as picky as Henner, chomped down some garden weeds and some calcium dusted baby hissers with gusto
we still don't have a name for her
