    Re: How many times do you guys check your snakes?

    Mmmm, daily for the most part, I work long hours, 24-36hr shifts, so before I go to work I check temps, check snake, clean and water every body in my collection! When I come home I do the same thing again. When I'm off, I do the same thing at least twice a day, morning and night rounds, fresh hatchies get checked twice a week when I do water changes and feedings, I don't like disturbing them to much till they are established and eating.

    I go in the snake room in the morning and before I go to bed, I don't check on all of the animals, I will open one or two random tubs get a temp reading, check the T-Stat, check the temps of the incubator.

    If animals are being paired I will check on pairs after 48 hours and separate them, females that have ovulated are check daily starting on day 29 POS

    Apparently I am a victim of the Pyrate Phenomenon... and I am ok with it.

    Twice a day, AM and PM rounds, to see who needs fresh water or a clean out. I have quite a few that like to pee in their bowls and I hate to leave it longer than necessary.

    Re: How many times do you guys check your snakes?

    I check on mine at least once a day. Three of my snakes are in terrariums and maintaining proper humidity in the terrariums requires constant attention. I like to see that the waters are all fresh and monitor the poo situation...as well as making sure everyone looks happy and healthy. I keep records on HerperPRO too, so I tend to be pretty anal retentive about keeping them current.

    I check on mine twice a day. Once in the morning and again when I get home in the afternoon.
