Jesse's garter snakes

[RedSidedSPR]

I finally decided to take my adult outside. He was so calm he just sat there!

I got the best tounge shot i have ever gotten! I lie natural light! It makes every picture better!

Can't post it though, you'll just have to wait! :P

Tease!!!

[RedSidedSPR]

Yup.

Roosters eyes cleared up Monday morning, but he hasn't shed yet. None of my snakes have taken this long after clearing up. Is this normal?

Snap took 4 days after she went clear to shed.

[RedSidedSPR]

Ok as long as It's not a retained shed or anything. Thanks!

[kibakiba]

Pick him up and bend his side a little bit, if the skin is really wrinkly when you do, it's likely retained.

[RedSidedSPR]

Nope. It's not.

The timing varies a lot Jesse. Here lately, before I sold Amy, he would shed and look good only for a few days then go right back to faded and "blue". He stays that way for a freaking month before he finally clears and sheds. So, even the same snake can have widely varying timing on the shedding stages.

A month!? Weird.....

Well anyhoo, he just shed. And for the FIRST TIME EVER, I watched the WHOLE THING!!! I saw him moving around and new he was starting, and I got a video of the entire shed! iPod is acting weird and won't let me upload it until I trim it down to 2:00 - 3:00, instead of the original 12:00.... I'll work on that and post it tonight if it works.

Awesome.

Now that he shed, I also got my contest entry. Will take a few more to see what I come up with, but I'm happy with the results...
