Jesse's garter snakes

[Steveo]

I never see the scrubs shed and only a few times have I even been able to tell they're going to. Often I'll give them a pre-feeding look over, feed them, and then the next morning I find new skins. I don't even know who to check to make sure it all came off.

It's true.

a few days before the shed, their eyes will go blue, as in solid, opaque eyes. You'll also notice a significantly more dull snake.. The eyes will clear up, and a day or so later they'll shed.
After the shed, he'll be considerably brighter, more colorful, and quite soft.

That's how i know when and who.

Hey, give 'em some pinkies!

[RedSidedSPR]

Was gonna ask you, have the eaten any pinkies yet? I gave them some chopped up pinkies yesterday, only the female ate them.. The male won't touch pinkies or worms.

Other then that they're pigs.

[RedSidedSPR]

The male won't touch pinkies or worms.

I figured it wouldn't be that difficult.

[RedSidedSPR]

I knew it wouldn't, but he's actually gone 2 feedings without eating anything (tried every food item in my possesion). It wast so much the not eating pinkies as the the not eating period. Wasn't worried about it but still, glad to see him eating normally
