Bad 'Snake-Sitter'

I fed her two mice this time, both the size shown in the picture. I have to go back to the pet store on Thursday to see if they bothered ordering more mice.

I'll try soaking her in a couple days, maybe a nice soothing bath will help calm her down. :P

Also, I made a makeshift humidifier out of a bottle/pump...will it hurt to have that sitting on the same table as her cage is on? It will only be temporary, but I don't want to hurt her.

Well...you never know. People can be strange like that :P.

In the large picture on the left side I see what appears to be two scales lifing off. Is that the shed, or are the scales themselves coming off?

I checked on that, it is just a stuck piece of shed.

One thing you might wanna do to help her get used to you, is toss a shirt youve worn in to the cage, make sure it hasnt been washed and make sure there's no deodorant on it too! That way its got your scent, the shirt obviously wont attack her, so that way it should help keep her calm.

Vom: That's a great idea! I think I might try that with Ody while we're at it. O_o

And darlin' it just takes a little time. New snake, new experiences, and new memories. Time will tell. My heart's with you through this entire ordeal.
