Introducing Coa

[Rattlehead]

Hey fellows, let me introduce you my beloved Coa, the little thing that has a piece of my heart. Boost her ego and say she's a cutie :P

Great colors!

Very nice milk snake. Are you still using the repti-carpet?

[Rattlehead]

Thanks guys! Ziggy, I have aspen bedding over it now. I kept it because, despite I control the heating mat in the basking area with a thermostat, I felt that it sometimes gets hotter beyond the safe point, the carpet reduces the direct heat and I can sleep in peace :) also I saw that she loves to burrow, so I'll keep using the aspen.

Very nice!

Cute little milk snake :) Just make sure you clean the repti-carpet often as it harbors bacteria.

[Rattlehead]

Yup, no problem! Got a couple of carpets that I wash and alternate every 2 weeks. I use to like only the astroturf only because I feel that it absorbs more heat from the lamp (as it's darker than the aspen I could reach warmer temps in the "atmosphere" of the tank without getting the lamps close to the lid) but I suppose that the heat is stored now in the aspen.

I'll post a little update on Coa for all colubrid fans :p

She is now fully nocturnal, and taking a good photo is really rare, but took a couple of good shots the other day
