That really confused me for a minute!! Poor Pete....hope he didnt think the forum was locking him out!!
Pete...you are VERY WELCOME! You have already found that this is a great place with lots of experienced owners happy to give their advice and support. You also gets lots of fun and friendship as a bonus. Not sure how long you have had Molley but would advise the following.
1. Hopefully you will already know the one week rule - leave Molley to get over the stress of the move and settle into her new surroundings by leaving her without handling or feeding for a week. Only put your hand in daily to change water and straighten substrate, that way she gets used to your smell.
2. I am sure you have already done so but if not....Make sure you read the care sheet on here, lots of information for new snake owners.
3. No question is regarded as a silly question on here.....it is much better asked and answered, you will probably find others who want the info too!
4. I hope you got as much info on your snake when you bought it....shedding history, feeding history etc. Start your own 'Snake Diary', noting things like weight, length, feeding dates and what you feed, shedding dates, health problems. I know it seems a bit over the top but it is actually really helpful keeping track of your snake's health - I even not when Kellog poos!!
5. Unwritten forum rule - pics as soon as possible!
A warning...snake keeping is addictive! The majority of us have stood up, said hello my name is **** and I am addicted to corns/kings/lizards........! You have only just started down the path!!
Once again, welcome!!!

thanks all
i wonderd where this thread had gone found it again
i did loads of home work before i got molly (and now marley too) as i had never owned a snake before only handled them so im fairly up to date with what i need to do
the diary was a cracking idea and i have started one with every thing i need to know but just one question.... how do you mesure a snakes length she just curles up but she is around 2 feet long going by her led out along the viv floor
im also going to get some scales so i can take her weight
cheers all

glad they are settling in so well
when they shed if you measure the shed and then take 10% off then it gives you an idea of their normal length |
