I'm not worried about all sorts of things anymore. Humidity, temps and his weight have stablized. Eating has been good. Yesterday I cut holes into cheapie bowls to make hides, which Patriot is happily curled up in at the moment. They're more snug around him. (He's probably thinking "About time!")

Today's the first day I'm feeling that I'm being proactive instead of sitting in a roller coaster and just hanging on for the ride. (This forum has helped SO MUCH!) It's a good feeling! Whew! Hopefully one day I'll be as confident with snakes as I am with the rest of our zoo.
I hope everything keeps getting better for you! And I would have to say the same about this forum, It has help me so much too! I couldnt have said it better my self.

I think back about 2 months ago and, Oh man I was clueless when I got home with little Julieta! I've learn so much. Thanks everyone for the help!
