Posted - 05/06/2011 : 17:09:40 Just had Vin out for a cuddle, the 1st time I've really handled him since his return as I fed him the day I collected, and I've noticed he had a bit of retained shed on his tail tip.
It was stuck up so I spotted it quickly but even a bath and wet kitchen towel hasn't removed it his tail tip looks a touch dark, but he's always had a blackmarking on his tail tip so may be nothing. Just a bit disappointed it wasn't noticed in the shop, they looked after him so well and he looks really healthy, hope he doesn't lose his tip. Will have him out for further investigation tomorrow, he behaved very well while we checked his tail out though, I must say! |

Posted - 05/06/2011 : 21:51:33 Thanks for the reassurance I've had very little to worry about with Vin as he's always been really chilled out! Even though I've now owned a snake for 6 months, I'm not experienced with snakey problems!
So glad to be back with him, its amazing how much you can miss them with their little characters! |
