Hey all

[jimmydecay]

Well, the old forum I used to belong to has apparently disappeared, so I found this one. My main concern for finding a new forum was because when I came home tonight, I found that Odin, my snow corn, had shed. So, I collected all the pieces I could find, and realized that the tip of the tail was missing. Well, lo and behold! it was still attached. So, I took him out, and proceeded to remove it. Well, it seems that a few scales decided to come off with it. So, he's missing a few around the tip of his tail. I've proceed to remove his waste, since when he shed he voided as well, and applied a bit of neosporin to the wound.

I'm not sure how it will turn out, whether he'll just grow the scales back, or if it will cause the tip to fall off. He may have injured it on his own, because I don't take him out that often, and I would remember causing it myself. I'm a bit protective of him.

This is one of the more recent videos of him. Recently, I tried feeding him a small rat, and was amazed that he got it down. I felt he was getting too big for adult mice, so I tried the rat, and I believe that I will be switching to that as his main source. It will also help regulate his eating cycles as well.

Anyway, these are just a few pics of him. I'll eventually take more, but time is not a commodity I have a lot of presently.

Odin is gorgeous!

His tail will be fine.

For future reference, go here:

Shed help

This will help if he doesn't shed completely. I have used this method a couple of times. It works great. Nanci, the person who made the thread, is amazing at making helpful threads.
