Moppet ah okay thanks, I'll refrain from touching her till I next feed her :) thanks
And yeah it is haha!! It's like not being able to touch my dog for a week!! I'd never be able to do that haha!! And yeah that is true. Thanks again :)
Smart Bunny, ah thanks!! I thought it was ridiculously too much from what I'd read on the internet before getting her, I wasn't going to say anything though, as he was the expert and I was the newbie. And what do you mean about her going into blue? What's that?
And NexivRed yes it is hahaha! And yeah good way of looking at it, thanks I won't touch her hehe.
Also I have a very burning question. How do snakes react with music played through speakers? Well not react but what do they think? Because Zeezee can be boring and hiding away all day then when I start playing some music through my speakers she'll poke her head out and see what's going on, then she'll just poke more and more of her body out then she'll be wondering around like a good'en, then she'll get bored and get comfy again in her cave just poking her head out.. This isn't a bad thing is it? I mean it's not stressing her out is it? It doesn't seem like it, she seems pretty comfy but I'm not an expert so I don't know. In my eyes it's kind of nice when she just comes out of hiding and jams with me.. Peoples thoughts?
Also sorry about the late replies.. I can't always get onto my computer. |

Going into blue means her eyes clouding over because she is getting ready to shed which makes them look blue (unless the snake has red eyes when they just look cloudy). There is a good sticky explaining the shedding process here: http://www.thecornsnake.co.uk/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=12296
I think snakes can feel the vibrations rather than hear music. I would have thought if she was stressed by it she wouldn't come out because she would feel safer being hidden, but maybe someone more experienced would be able to give you a better idea about that.
Snakes would be more sensitive to the bass frequencies than any others, so I would be cautious with music that has a heavy bass. I would think as long as it isn't too loud and you don't play it continuously then your snake should be okay with it. Also, it would depend on where your speakers are. If they are on the same surface as your snake's viv then I would be inclined to move them so that the vibrations maybe aren't quite so 'loud' to her. |

Hey! when i get my snake out i always have music on and he seems to love it!! haha and one time i was watching a movie on my ipod and it was dark and i had my snake out and he like came up on my bed next to me and like stared at the screen like he wanted to watch! so i moved it around and his head would follow it and it was pretty cool. I wish i could get inside of their heads and know what they are thinking! |

Moppet, ohhh okay I knew that!! I know she's not shedding, she just did that before I got her. So I'm safe there haha.. And yeah, It's annoying because I DO listen to some music with a lot of bass, and my speakers areen't cheap :/ but I DON'T listen to it very loud, I turn it down when I hear too much bass, my speakers are on the opposite side of my room, it being rectangular shaped, and viv being on one side, and speakers being on the other, but down a bit, and I probably listen to them like once every 2-3 days for like an hour or two, that's it. And yeah Moppet like you said, I don't think it stresses her out because she becomes very active when I listen to music. So hopefully she's find with it.
And BOWZER43 haha he sounds well cute!! Yeah lol I'd also love to be able to get into their heads and see their thoughts!! Same with my dog when he's twitching in his sleep haha
feeding time tomorrow for Zeezee again, I hope she eats it. I'll be well worried and stuff if she doesn't :/

Personally I would go back to the bald rat pups just for the time being as that is what she is used to and you need to get her settled in with you before chnaging her food around. Once she's eating again, then you could maybe consider trying something else again?
Others may disagree though! |

Yeah, I was going to do that, but the reason I changed her food was because she wasn't pooing, therefore I took her too my local reptiles shop and they told me she's eating fodo that's too small for her, so, yeah that's why I changed her food around so quickly.
Took her down again today and the girl recommended me to food her one bald ratpup, then straight after she's taken that one feed her a small fury mouse, to try and fool her into eating fur. She said if that fails, she's willing to take Zeezee for a week, and she'll try get her to feed properly. They're quite nice there actually :O |
