I wanna see him!!

He looks like a pretty one. The potted plants should be ok if it's something you want to do. Research which types are sturdier because a heavy bodied snake will just crush most of them anyway. a lot of people use devil's ivy (golden pothos) which looks really great. The plants will help with humidity and such, but they're a pain to keep up with. Do some research into it if you want. If done properly it wont hurt the snake (only the other way around) and it'll look great. But like I said, it's difficult to keep up with.

it was evident today that poor Avy was STUCK in that f-ing pipe ... I got out a saw with tiny teeth so the noise and vibes wouldn't be soooo bad ... and I sawed and sawed and sawed .... one pass at a time I got to a point where I wasn't all the way through BUT could see through the plastic, well, could see dark behing the plastic .... then took a heelies wheel tool and used it kinda like a Church Key and popped the pipe apart ... and as my bil and I SLOWLY pulled it apart Avy started to wiggle! She could not do that before ... and we took off the part I had sawed around and she she worked her head out ... she looked RELIEVED to say the least!! we rinsed her off and placed her back in the tank and she explored for the first time :D I wasn't sure but she seemed hungry just looked like she wanted food ... so I went out and got a frozen big mouse ... live and learn next time it WILL be a rat! anyway As I was warming this thing up she was going CRAZY!!! I got the HUGE tweezers and dangled it she didn't move ... I moved it closer she started sticking the tounge out, I moved it a bit closer so the the mouse was almost nose to nose and she did her thing!! I know it wasn't instant but hey it's our first feeding together ;) I am HAPPY to see her strike and moved around her in tank :) I have solved the humidity issue :D I am ordering a thermostat tomorrow ... I will take some pics tomorrow too ;)

I do have one question ... since I KNOW she sould have had something larger than the large mouse I gave her ... should I get her another tomorrow when I make a trip to the pet shop? or should I wait til the next feeding?! .

thank you!! :)


Oh I think we have the fever my boy is asking for a corn snake ... We are going to work on something like a 4-h report on the topic of Corn Snakes he will present it to MawMaw and we will set up a tank and have everything regulated once all of the projecs are done (about 2 months worth of activities) he will recieve his corn snake... he is 6 "and a half" ;) and he is EXCITED to learn all about them! in the mean time mommy will be doing her extra credit work searching out good places to purchase one from ... it will be a gift from MawMaw when the time comes.

Oh and I am 95 percent sure it's is a girl :) I have a wiggley snake ... and it's my first time LoL
