Thoughts on a good snakey day

It never gets old!
Nothing special, but just a good day. It started with checking Cleos's viv and seeing a big poop in the water dish. So all snake systems are working! A good washing with bleach water and rinse later, the water was refilled. I know a shed is due and she's been hiding all day on the warm side. After digesting she usually hides on the cool side, so we'll see but I'm giving her a break from handling while I observe.

Then tonight was little Clyde's feeding day. But first I had to find him. I feed him in viv but I need to know which hide he's in so I can place the pinky head near. One by one I lifted hides and removed them in my quest to find the baby snake. Then I started removing fake plants. I got to the last vine and there he was wrapped deeply in it. When I touched it he moved or I never would have seen him. So I put the hides back in and he goes in his warm hide. I put the pinky head (with just a little more neck attached than last time) at the end of the hide and off of the UTH. I/2 hour later I check and the pinky head is gone. Mission accomplished.

It is these daily small tasks, joys, and learnings that make my day as a snakekeeper. I love my little worms, and it is clear that they do more for me than I do for them.
 
Everybody is "losing" their snakes today, eh? Haha. I couldn't agree more though. It's the little things that bring the most joy.

Yeah, it's crazy! Welcome to national lose your snake in the vine day!
 
I'm glad Clyde is settling in well!

I had a good day with my snakey too - she was very "cuddly" and curled around my arm while we watched a nature show about her venomous cousins :)
