Welcome back, I'm so glad things are working out for you again. It's been rather quiet on this site so I don't imagine you're the only one that's been having to deal with issues.
I'm sure that our "Bite Club" will welcome your blood & gore photos with Kalista when you get around to them, no perfection needed, lol.![]()
I know what you mean about how some snakes object to our "eye contact". I have a mature Korean rat snake like that, & one still-nervous yearling Florida rat snake that's still very "shy", but most of my snakes are fine with eye contact- it's funny how different some can be. I hope Kalista continues to out-grow her paranoia though, otherwise you might need an eye shield. Good idea anyway, even now.
