lol Yup, they're quite the hunters. Draco's preferred ambush spot is his vine now. He'll poke his head out from wherever he's hiding, look at the food, and then run off to his vines. Then I just wave it randomly and he'll slowly slink out of the vines to grab it.

Yup, they are awesome. You should definitely get one if you can.

lmao Garters are just the goofiest. Ah, man, I'm dying just picturing it. XD

I am thinking about deepening Draco's substrate, because I don't think there's enough for him to bury in. Next time I expand some EcoEarth, I'll give him a little more.

Re: Draco Profile

Some photos from yesterday. It's been in the high-70's pretty much all week (and I think it was 80F today!), and it's supposed to mostly stay in the 60-70's over the next 10 days, so I think winter is finally starting to back off. Now we'll just be getting rainy weather for next month or so....

You can see his little "belly button."




What appeared to be damaged scales. They just appeared yesterday, and were gone today. I thought it might have been dirt, but it didn't rub off, so idk what it was but I took him out today and it wasn't there anymore.

I added more bedding to his tank, and I set up his humid hide, so maybe the added humidity solved it (it's been dry lately since it's been hot and it hasn't rained yet).


And some videos.

Digging him out so I could check on him.


When I put him back in, he immediately climbed into his vine.


A short video of his heartbeat.

Re: Draco Profile

Sounds like things are going good! I've noticed some funky scales too from time to time. I think it was just her getting messy with her feces -.- because I use aspen, don't know what else it would be lol I can't wait for it to get warm here. The highest it has really been was like 56f

Yeah, idk what it was. lol I tried water and a cloth and everything. We've had several warm days so far, several mid-70's days and it even got like 80F the day I took those photos. It's supposed to be in the mid-70's for the next several days, and then in the 50's-60's.

Re: Draco Profile

I haven't been on here in awhile, so I've got some photos of Draco to provide. He's now just over a foot long and is taking whole pinkies. He's shed maybe 3 times since I last logged on.

Yeah, it's always amazing to see the growth snakes go through, and they're still going to get bigger!

I also have a new photo of Draco, he was confused by the water bowl no longer being on top of him. This is his favorite place to hide, sometimes I find him in one of his hides above ground.
