Dehydration?

Loo roll is indeed toilet paper, as is bog roll - 'the loo' is a polite word for toilet/bathroom, 'bog' is a slightly ruder one :p

And yes, thankfully corn snakes are corn snakes. I remember when I first got into snakes though, I got very confused about this 'ball python' I kept hearing about, since when I looked at the pics, they looked exactly like royal pythons and I wondered how on earth anyone could tell the difference. Took me an embarrassingly long time to realise they were one and the same species :p
 
Yep,mhere we tend to say ball python and there you tend to say royal python. This is where scientific names help a bit. Though in snakes they seem to be doing a bit of changing on those as well. So nice to know we speak the same language, lol!

Thanx for the informative post Giga! (I hope the intended recipient read it as he's not as outspoken as we are!!). :eek1:

BTW, what is "kitchen roll?"

Sounds interesting, sorta like the western version of egg roll or something. Then again, why would that have anything to do with substrate? Inquiring minds wanna know!!

Like loo roll but bigger :p

And I meant 'particulate substrate', in my earlier post, rather than particular; basically I meant anything like aspen that is made up of lots of different bits and not just a sheet like the kitchen roll up there :)

Watch out axis...they drop "h" in words when spoken and add "u" to other words. Like colour, behavior, etc. Silly Brits :nyah:

Speaking of silly Brits...I wonder if I could convince my wife to going off the beaten trail for some sticky toffee pudding if we run any errands today....
 
Speaking of dropping H's ... reminded me of My Fair Lady!
"In Hertford, Hereford and Hampshire, hurricanes hardly ever happen"
I have this movie on DVD ... poor Eliza Doolittle ... she was pushed to the extreme as she tried to learn to speak 'proper' English!

OK, now I get it!! (I'm a LITTLE slow, as most of you might know - one time I actually STUDIED for a URINE TEST!!! No wonder I DIDN'T pass!).

Didn't know what dropping the "h" meant in that first post, but thanks to kdickens, now I do! But the movie I'd be referring to is "Trainspotting," as it's more my speed, won't put me to sleep like the other one mentioned, and actually can make me laugh out loud! For anyone who didn't see it, I highly recommend it, but be forewarned, it doesn't only contain drug references, it's actually ABOUT a bunch of folks who use "H" (by shooting it, not dropping it, ha ha!)! Oh yeah, and it's the Scottish version of the British accent, which I find much more entertaining!!

OK, so what was this thread about originally? :eek1:
 
Lol!!! ...a possibly dehydrated snakelet with a little nick that has a fondness for sink drains... So, 'ow is the li'l bugger?
 
Thanks for the replies, everyone! Lacey has improved since the first day she got that little scrape on her neck. The wound area now looks "dried out" in the same way as when you get a blister that pops, it looks bad, then it dries out as it's exposed to air and it looks better.

I've provided a few different-sized hides for her, and she prefers to sleep under a folded sheet of notebook paper most of the day. When I take her out and hold her in my hands, she warms up and crawls around, eyes bright and tongue flickering. So I think she's healthy!
 
Update for anyone interested! Lacey is doing very well.
She's still eating well. On Wednesday (8/31) I gave her a bath by letting her swim around in my tub. I'm glad I did that because she went poo, so now I know at least that she can, haha!
Last night, she shed. The tiny scrape on her neck looks so much better now! By looking closely, I can see that it is a smooth skin surface where the scales haven't grown back yet. But hopefully they will by next shed!
As time goes on, I look forward to sharing more stories with you all!
Thanks for all your help!
-Karen
 
I'm so glad she's doing so well. Sounds like all snake systems are go. The scales can take several sheds so don't worry if it's not next time.
