From 10 gal to 30 gal??????

Haha why is it every time you clean their tank or ur linens they have to go pee or poop on them!!!!!

I guess they were like "Oh this bed is comfy" And they are so relaxed it just comes out.

Or they are getting back at us for something! Ahh

Their cute heads/faces hide their deceiving nature.

Sounds like you have the same luck as I would have, which is why I don't let Bones crawl on my bed, nor do I sit with him in my $700 LaZboy recliner. With my luck, he will let it rip all over the place.

One question, though; does the snake poop stain the sheets or does it just come right out?

Im beginning to think thats the case with my bp. Idk if he should go on be on my bed anymore. I mean most times he will lay beside my leg or hide under the covers for quite awhile. But all the peeing and pooping is making me reconsider.

My dad was like "At least you didn't have to clean his tank"
Umm how is it better that he do it on my bed...where I sleep. lol

Yep it came right out! thank gosh!. It was sitting there for prob a good hr or 2. I just sprayed it with stain remover and then overloaded on the detergant lol. :]

No skid marks. Whew. :rofl:

Heh,

Since the horrible day I tried to take a pic of a snake on a silk shirt I check the poop chute before handling to see if it is locked and loaded. :ninja:

Wow that must've ruined the whole shoot!!
They like to poop at the most inconvenient times and places.

Its really hard to know when they are gna let it rip considering they stay locked and loaded for awhile. :rolleye2:

Does any one know if a snake favors one hide over others?
Because ever since i put him in the tank he has been on the cold side over where his old hide is.

I got worried abt him being too cold so I took the bigger hide out and placed the one he always wants to be in on the warm side. And ever since then hes been in there. Oi vey now imma worry abt him overheating.

He's getting used to the new environment and the big hide doesnt look too snug.

A lot of people say they will favor a certain hide and that to prevent this, the hides have to be the same size and have to be snug around the snake. My snake almost makes me want to believe that always doesn't have to be true. My snake's cool side hide is slightly bigger than his warm side hide and they're both a little too big for him. I noticed he was spending the majority of his time on the cool side, so I switched hides to see if he preferred one hide over the other. No go. He still preferred the cool side. Once I got my T-stat and was able to get the temperatures right on the warm side, he seems to spend time in both of them equally. He hides mostly all the time and has never missed a meal (except for when I tried to feed him rats). Maybe it has something to do with the fact that he has little to no stress. I only handle him once or twice a week and is tank is in the back corner of my room where there is no foot traffic. No one bothers him and he bothers no one. :)

If your hides aren't similar in size and you think he could be preferring one hide over the other, switch the hides and see what he does. If he still prefers that hide, then he is probably favoring. If he still prefers the cold side hide, then your warm side is probably too warm.

Im in the process of getting another hide that is similar in size to the one he loves. As soon as I put it on the heat pad he went in it. So hes def favoring that hide. Its just no where can I find one of those potting things to make into a hide...they seem to be all clear this season and not orange. :/

Finally got something that can actually control the temp of the UTH. Its not a thermostat but a Repti-temp Rheostat. Hopefully that will be decent enough for the time being.
Does anyone know what is the ideal temp for a UTH on the Acurite?

My dad also bought a big log shaped tunnel for "Henry"
I have no clue why my dad will not call him Xander.... hmmm lol
But his official name is Xander fyi :]

Once I can get the heat pad to the right temp (which i dont exactly know wat is the "right temp") and get another hide my Xander/Henry will be set!

Also I'm concerned about the log. Can i bake the cork log? Ever Since Xander Had mites im very paranoid about putting un sterilized things in the tank.
