Libertarian.

My snakes? Hmmm... I think Charlie would be a democrat, Sasha a republican, and Adrian wouldn't vote at all because he's a rebel!

[quote=VickyChaiTea;1252165]CarnivorousZoo! I'm glad to hear an update on those guys, I was wondering what happened to them! Is the female really just constipated or does she have fecoliths? Fecoliths are masses of solid waste that have become especially hard and dry, and could have to be removed surgically.

Its not just constipation, its folds of her intestines and colon that have become stretched as well as her reproductive parts. The vet says she could live another 4 years or she could get sick and need put down any day. Ultrasound did not show any solids or air in her system thank goodness, just normal poo caught in the folds. Unfortunately she has begun refusing food and breathing heavy. I have an appointment to get her looked at. It may just be this poor girls time

PLEASE tell me you are joking. Snakes are like many animals they give no thought to where they go, in the wild they would leave their poo far behind them and probably not come back to that spot until some time after nature cleaned it up. It is cruel to rub any animals nose in it. Would you rub a toddlers nose in an accident during potty training? I'm afraid this is one instance where comparing to humans is a correct thing. All doing that does is give the living thing involved a negative association with the person doing the rubbing.

Tell me you are not serious? Corns have not been domesticated. They are still wild animals. In the wild animal instincts tell them to HIDE illness and other weaknesses or be eaten. So, why would an animal only kept in captivity a short time (compared to say dogs) suddenly decide to "tell" us they are stressed?
