    Re: more pics of my new snakes

    Unless there was a mix up, the snakes have been off feed for about 5 days now.

    They are not used to a lot of handling, and combined with the stress of the airplane ride, and being taped in a box for a day, they really should be given a day or two to settle in before they get too stressed out.

    Also I wanted to point out, they are used to feeding in a small box (a rubbermaid / sterilite type container) with no substrate. Shavings and fibers will stick to slugs like glue, and they will swallow junk.

    These guys lost 2 siblings that way, and it was ugly.
