Thanks Judith....... plus who would give Steve all the attention if i had my own snake.
I get so wound up with my family, cos they keep going on about 'my snakes' and how crazy I am about them and how they get more attention than the family - but they were actually got cos my OH and son were interested, but of course it has come down to me to do the water change, feeding, handling etc....so now they are MINE!!!!

hubby wants to get a ceramic plant pot form B&Q and cut a section out so he can go in it and hide in aspen or lie on the top of it. Would i need to treat the pot or could it just be left as it is?
Hubby is really enjoying helping get his Viv ready too bless him.
I used an old broken plant pot from the garden and OH just cut broken part down so that it sat at angle, then sanded cut piece. Washed it in boiling water (I think) and treated it with Tamodine - a reptile friendly cleaner. But that is all I did and Kellog loves is. Think there are pics of him somewhere on here of him in it....did worry he wouldnt fit but that is probably why he likes it, it is just right - not too big but not too small.
I love the fact your OH is getting so involved with Steve's viv, he is making more and more steps to becoming a corn lover. Has he handled Steve again recently?

Hi judith, thanks for that, Hubby held him for a few seconds again the other night, With Steve shedding and then feeding non of us have had chance to handle him much.
I must admit i do more for Steve than my son does, hence why i won't get my own snake just yet.lol
sta~ple thank you for your kind words, i'm sure your babies will feed soon, from what i have read on here snakes are very hardy creatures!! you do have some very pretty babies too. |

Ok Steve devoured the fluff like he always does, although it did take him a little longer than normal, he soon made it disappear!! lol
He struck really quickly again and i thought he was going to constrict till i saw his body was under the kitchen towel on the bottom of his rub! lol
Oh well next time maybe.

I finally gave up on expecting Snickers to remain in the warm area for digestion. She would remain there for about twenty-four hours at best and then would burrow or climb a bush like your little darling. I've come to the conclusion that there are no such things as text book snakes. [quote]Originally posted by mom2mysononly

Wonderful pics of Steve eating, and I am so pleased he took the fluff so well and even struck....dont worry, the constrict will hopefully come - and if it doesnt at least he is eating  !!

Silvesta and Kellog are the same, both would originally head straight to the warm side but after 24hrs they would move about....Silvesta in particular. He used to then spend all his time in his cool hide, but he is becoming more adventurous and more often than not is burrowed somewhere under the substrate so that I have a 'no snake in the viv' situation!
But this is what they choose to do and they must know what is best for them, they have the choice as to where to go....so you are right when you say that there is no such thing as a text book snake!

after reading endless posts on here, i now know there are no 2 snakes the same!! I'm just glad i have a really easy going one.
Popped into our local rep shop where we got Steve from yesterday and they had the bearded dragons out and let us feed and hold one, he was so lovely, got my mind ticking over, until hubby said in my ear " don't get any ideas!!" lol
Good job he is there to keep me grounded otherwise i would probably have a right old collection now!! lol |
