Re: Does this sound (and look) like a respiratory infection? Help please :(
So, probably final update, unless she relapses! I finally let her back into her tank since she escaped quarantine so many times. She's very happy about it. Today is feeding day, and she is not at all a shy snake (in fact is quite friendly and curious), and the ruts dug in the sand from her pacing along the tank glass overnight tell me she is hungry. So given that she is feeling better even though it's broad daylight in the morning, I dug her up and offered her a f/t pinkie (I will not be home tonight to try). She took it happily, but she's a weirdo and instead of constricting it like she did the live one last week she just very gently took it from my tongs and ate it even with me standing and watching and went on her merry way. Her previous owner said she did that but I didn't quite believe it. Well, now I do! I'll take it given that many baby KSB are real picky about eating even on a good day. She is quickly stealing my heart.

(you do realize that you're making me want one of these...? thanks!)
Do it! So much personality in one little snake. And it's cute as hell to watch her burrow and then peek her little head out and just check stuff out, then go back under and peek up somewhere else. Like whack a mole but with a snake and nobody is whacking her.
She's darn cute & she knows it, haha!
