Well, all of the snakes are finally out of the fridge... I have been pulling them out slowly over the past two weeks or so. A lot of them ate their first meal tonight and seemed very pleased to be doing so! I took a few quick shots tonight I thought I'd share... first is the female terrestris who appears to be going into shed tackled first a very large fat fuzzy and THEN an adult mouse and was looking for more. This snake is awesome! These pictures make her appear small...





Blossom was clearly waiting for her turn to eat tonight... she sucked down about 7 huge fuzzies. She won't eat anything with fur on it, she simply hates the texture. I tried giving her an adult mouse, she always grabs it and starts eating entusiastically and then becomes disgusted when she realizes there is fur. I always feed a lot of mice at this time of year, just to fatten them up quickly out of brumation.

here she is fresh out of brumation:


and here she is after a good meal. I am intrigued by the fact that the tail after the cloaca is bright red but the rest of her belly is tan.



the newest inhabitants of the snakeroom are... goldfish?!?! They are terrible snake food but wonderful pets! Yes. I love fancy goldfish and I had a lot of fun building this setup.
