Gail's garter - the snake kind silly.

Sheds aren't reliable for length. Usually they are longer then the actual snake. Sometimes shorter.

How often they shed depends on the many factors like metabolism, amount of food, frequency of food and what food.
Better to sit back and enjoy the ride.
Let the snake drive.

Sold one of the smaller tanks & moved Zena into her larger abode. Maybe now I'll look for a female roomie for her. My only worry is what if she does not like her new companion?

Do you have a quarantine tank? When getting a new snake it is always a good practice to quarantine. That way you can monitor for illness, mites, parasites, and temperament. If the two don't get on together after that period of time, you have the quarantine tank to separate them.

I have extra tanks out the wahzoo. 20 long, 2 tens, even a 2.5. Plus my neighbor has a ton of xtras also. I just can't resist a good deal on craigslist.

Reptile hammocks, not just for lizardsanymore. Zena enjoys warming under thered lamp so I decided to try a reptile hammock and she enjoys curling up on itand stretching out also. Since Istarted using the reptile carpet on one side I’ve noticed that she does herpooping on that side only. Makes it alot easier to clean the cage since all I have to do is pull that one out, wipedown the glass and replace with a clean one. Compared to my frogs and toads she is so much easier to take care of.

Thats so cute! I'd like to try one of those for mine. I've seen them for ferrets and things like that, but not for reptiles. Adorable

You wouldn't want the one for ferrets or sugar gliders, they are made of solid materials. The ones for reptiles are made from non-absorbent, vented fabric and easy to clean if they mess on it. Zena loves it and hangs out daily on this.

Now I get it! My little tiny red sided arrived today and OH MY GOSH!!!! I’ve seen a lot of your photos on this site but they do NO justice to the awesome cuteness of the babies. It’s like a piece of cooked spaghetti with a tiny peanut head!!! As soon as she came in I took her home and got her settled into her new abode, now it’s gonna be a long day at work until I can see her again. I’ll get pics up soon. Thanks Jason.

Chopping up a pinky and a worm was not something I looked forward to doing. But it was rewarding when the new baby (still haven’t picked a name yet) ate from the tweezers. Plus Zena then ate the leftovers. All is good on the snake side of the house.
