Milksnake Be Crazy

So I get home tonight from the bar and check some temps and waters and I notice the hide was moved. So I call my roomies and ask them if they went in the enclosure.

The only one that did pay any attention to the enclosures went in the BP cage to "pet" Opera. (Even though I repeatedly tell them snakes don't really like pettins if they must pet something choose one of the cats or the dog.)


So apparently my little apricot moved it's RBI hide a good 6"across it's cage. I just peeked in and It spotted me and darted around for abit. I cannot get inside this little one's head...not sure I want to. But it sure is neat. :P

Good ol' milk snakes :taz:

Gotta love em :D

I always wanted a milk snake because they look like coral snakes

Still in the middle of a shed.

Couldn't get the poor thing to eat :(

It's been sitting under it's water bowl

After he sheds, if he still won't eat, offer him a f/t pinkie in his deli cup with the lid on and do it at night before you go to bed - and then check in the morning.

I had to do that with my black milks for their first few feedings with me.

He did eat thankfully on sunday. Took one of the tongs, ate the other that was left infront of his cage. So that made me happy. I had a complete no refusal sunday.

He seems to have one little piece of stuck on shed on his back though. I'm not sure how to remove it. I saw a little piece hanging off so I wonder if I should just pull it off or what.

Give him a soak for 10-15 minutes then rub the stuck shed off from front to back. Should come right off.
