    My new rodent colony

    :shock: Hey all you snaky people,
    Well, it looks like I am going to have to attempt my first forced feeding...of my Kenyan Sand Boas....I have been having a real regurgitation problem and I have been busily attempting to troubleshoot my husbandry and anything else that could be causing this...so at this point I am going to try to obtain a fecal sample for analysis and I am going to try to get them to take a paste that I am going to make of frozen pinky mouse and water and see if they can keep it down...I am going use a syringe with a plunger that I am getting at the pharmacy tomorrow and we will see if I can get them to cooperate ( yeah right sure... ) by not squirming too much...so wish me luck because I am sorta nervous being as I have never done this...I am going to be very gentle and try to make it as easy as possible on the snakes and myself... :? I really do not want to have to do this but they really need some nourishment in their wee stomachs... :roll:

    Life is like a game of poker. You can play each hand to the best of your ability but you are still going to run into a bad beat from time to time. What matters is how you handle it. Do you go on tilt or can you maintain your composure & rebuild your stack?
