hello!

[marisa]

Haven't posted in awhile! Have had a bad week for snakes :( Two of my snakes died, unrelated causes luckily but it really sucks and I have been bummed out all day....SOOOOOOO I decided to snap a couple a crappy pictures of my new baby ball python

Got him as a present recently...he eats thawed mice like a mad man/girl and is the sweetest little snake I could have asked for. So calm and gentle and a fat little bugger too! :) Just thought I'd share seeing as this little guy has done a lot of cheering me up lately! Who couldn't smile when they see this little guy?

Trying to ball himself away from me *LOL* Little brat. Normally he shoots right out of the rubbermaid onto my hand. But of course not for the camera!

Sorry to hear about the other snakes...at least you still have this good looking little one. :)

It was sh*tty. Really crappy week.
My Amazon Tree Boa, the one I had mentioned that Darren Hamill had given me great advice on, for some reason "gave up" I guess. He had just started eating too a few weeks before, when I posted the thread about the help I had gotten with him from Darren. And poof, one day just dead. :( Poor guy went through a lot of crap though.

And my male amel het blizzard cornsnake Harley died last night/today. He had somehow swallowed some aspen it seems, the weird thing is when I found him he was biting himself. I wanted to maybe get a vet to look at him but I think I "found" him dead too late, checked on him night before, then found him day the nexy day, midday. So I dunno about the biting...My other snakes are all healthy as horses still so I think this was a case of two bad things happening at once basically. Just crap timing!

thanks for the replies folks!

Sorry for your other snakes, but I hope the new ball can help the recovery.

[Darren Hamill]

Aw! Marisa you're having such a bad time lately! :( I'm still very surprised to hear about the ATB but now another animal? :( I wish there was something I could do to help......

Take care you and best of luck!~

[raebug2000]

sorry to hear about your babies. :(

[marisa]

I know seriously it was so weird how two died in one week.

I am not having a bad time though, I have lots of things to count for good luck too! My ball python eats thawed mice no problem, which is good compared to some stories I have heard, my snow corns are growing like weeds (both almost 50 inches!) and my other animals are happy and healthy! I am so sad those two passed away! I cried over a snake ! hehehe :) but I still have way to many blessings to feel to bad!! :)

thanks everyone! have a good day!

I cried when my ball python got an INCY WINCY ITSY BITSY bite from another ball python, I was balling my eyes out!! I cant imagine what i would do if one of them died!! OMG!! I dont even want to think of that, or i will cry! Well, good luck with all your snakes! :D
