Re: shed skin sperm plugs?
sperm plugs lol.
they are called spurs. they are whats left from evolution of the snakes back legs. you know the lizards that only have back legs? well thats where snakes came from. males AND females both have spurs, and if the shed comes of as nicely as yours did, you can see them in the shedded skin. post some pics of your house snake with his brand new skin!
i dont know if house snakes are the same as garter snakes, but ive seen a garter snake eat a goldfish! anyhoo
feedings up to you, but its been said that keeping them on a diet of more smaller prey items at once as opposed to one large prey item at a time can increse their lifespan...
Re: shed skin sperm plugs?
Ummm,
Colubrids don't have spurs - only some of the pythons. And they don't get shed.
I havn't heard the lifespan thing either - unless your refering to overfeeding shortening lifespan in an animal you allow to become overweight?
House snakes are lovely little african snakes with cat slitted eyes - will try and grab you some pictures while he is still awake.
