Re: Quarantine Tank in Place for New Loaner Arrival

Oh mann!!!! This is freaking awesome! Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined this snake to be so pretty. I am speechless and excited even more now that I actually saw what he looks like. This snake looks even better tha Carl did before he got sick. Whats his name?

Re: Quarantine Tank in Place for New Loaner Arrival

It makes sense Shmoges, the other thing he could do is breed 2 of the offspring together since they'll be 100% het for everything and get visuals and a bunch of possible hets.

This was my plan from the start and thanks to you, Shmoges, it is now back on track.

Re: Quarantine Tank in Place for New Loaner Arrival

I put a moist hide in his tank for the weekend. I'd eat some salad and get some sphagnum from home depot for this guys quarantine tank so he can shed better.

Re: Quarantine Tank in Place for New Loaner Arrival

I got some heat packs and I think I may tape one to the outside of the styrofoam instead of the inside since it says it gets to 140+

Re: Quarantine Tank in Place for New Loaner Arrival

Ill be sure to get some tomorrow afternoon and have it ready for him. "Thank you" just doesnt convey the gratitude and excitement Im feeling right now. The anticipation of it all is awesome! I feel like a little kid at Christmas time.

Btw, Schatzi is going into shed as well. I think the timing of all this is perfect. It was meant to be.

Re: Quarantine Tank in Place for New Loaner Arrival

Ok I just got a text stating he is in FedEx's hands now. I should get him tomorrow at 10:30 my time. Brian will be home then and has already said that he will set him up in the quarantine tank as soon as he gets here. Oh man this is great! These breeding plans are back on track.

Re: Quarantine Tank in Place for New Loaner Arrival

It seems Schatzi loves this stuff as well. I also put some in her hides since she is blue as well.

Re: Quarantine Tank in Place for New Loaner Arrival

He hasn't eaten obviously, its been 7 days since his last feed and as of late I have had to put him in a shoe box with the f/t weaned rat for him to eat it otherwise it will sit over night and bloat lol. He is usually a good striker so I think other thoughts are on his mind....

I noticed my snow corn is kinda fat so I'm going to cut her food intake down to once every two weeks till she loses a little. She is about 23 oz. right now and seems a bit fatty for the last foot of her body.

Just noticed she seems to be sneezing.....hope this isn't my first corn RI. Word of caution Wiz. Make sure he isn't sneezing. They are not co-habed but there tanks are next to each other. I put an extra heat lamp on her tank, hope that helps.

Re: Quarantine Tank in Place for New Loaner Arrival

Hmm maybe she just doesn't like the smell of poo on my hands when I am spot cleaning?! She never hisses though, it was a very short sneeze sound.
