    Maybe I'm having a blind, naive moment about snakes, but I have no idea what you meant by that.

    As for feeding, unless she is seriously underweight, I would hold off feeding for now. It sounds like she's had a very traumatic and stressful time of it. And she still has a lot of stress ahead of her with the vet visits and likely treatments she will go through. If I were in your shoes, I'd just leave her totally alone except to take her to the vet and follow his instructions. Ask the vet if the medications you may be given will affect her eating (cause her to regurge, for instance.)

    Once she's all done being messed with and fussed over...give her a week to settle in and start to feel safe....then attempt to feed her with a small-ish sized rodent.

    I don't know if the more experienced folks will have different advice, but this is what makes sense to me.

    Well she lets her vagina out like if she just rubs her tail on my arm she will put them out like she is horny or something!

    I can honestly say...I had NO idea that female snakes exposed their sexual organs.

    She is definitely a cutie! I am sure she will come around in no time with a vet visit and proper husbandry.

    Andre, you and I spoke in AIM regarding this days ago and you know the proper term for this is "everting". Terms like "vagina" and "horny" do not apply to snakes nor are appropriate to use in regards to this behaviour. VPI's explanation of probing covers some basics of snake reproductive terminology and anatomy....

    On the rare occasion I have had a female evert Adam told me it could have been stress related and he was quite right (we were soaking Orlah for badly retained shed at the time). I highly doubt your snake is in anyway interested in you as a potential mate.

    Yes children, remember... snakes do not have vagi--- well, you know. Instead, they have hemipenial homologs. Honestly, that sounds a little more nasty, but much more accurate. :sweeet:
