Re: Omg help!!!!

I think they took one snake out and instead of having it loose or whatever while cleaning they put it in with another snake they had.

It's always good to have a spare tank at hand. I do my cleaning when they're eating and by the time they're done so am I.

I totally agree but i wouldnt put TWO snakes into the spare tank at teh same time - i also thoroughly clean the spare tank in between each snake going in there to avoid any risk of cross contamination.

Agreed. That is a must. Besides, I don't like to have bodily fluids from the last feeding around. That's just yucky.

Re: Omg help!!!!

They should be fine, snakes generally have small teeth and unless there was tearing, or eye damage they bounce right back.

Good plan, when you say damage, what does that mean?
