I can't stop lookin' at my new Snake!

Just got this squamiger only a couple days ago and Im so happy with her! Shes only about 6" long and has a tiny little face....
She is a stubborn feeder, but hopefully i can change that soon
Shes a bit fiesty, but not too bad!







I wanted to post this pic too. She came to me with a piece of shed skin attached to her left eye. A while back BWSmith posted a thread along the lines of "Ive got hooks, I wont need to touch 'em".
This is a good example of how you cant always used big long tools to manipulate hots!
I'm going to venture to the business end of this snake later tonight with some long tweezers and get that skin off



thanks for looking, lemme know whatcha think!

I know you are aware of this but I can't help wishing you luck and safety this evening with the 'business' end. It's almost like she left it there .. right there .. just to get to know you better!

Textbook photo of one of the worlds most beautiful animals. Well done...

LOL...... Matt she is tiny dude....... I love squams...... She is absolutily beautiful........ Hey dude, I would try to soak her first...... But I am sure you did that already...... The thing I found works the best is scotch tape....... I put a piece on padded forcepts and just touch the eye cap...... Put it off slowly and the eye cap is gone....... Good luck with her....... She is awsome......
