Axe'!
Well, I got an adult sunglow corn, and he was looking pretty rough there for a few days. However, he has settled in and seems a bit happier. He's about to shed, and has poo'd a few times (turns out he doesn't like being held too much...), and aside from this nagging cough he's got, he's doing well. We're taking a little trip to the vet in a few days, and see what's up with his cough.

Speaking of him not liking to be held much, I've heard a lot of talk about not putting the snake down if he poo's on you. So, what do you do? Sit there covered in crap for another 15 minutes?

Also, I got an email from Rich Z today saying my new motley hatchlings are ready to be shipped! I should get them in a little more than a week. I can't wait! I was having a moment of weakness, and considered adding another few snakes to my order, but I'm glad it's all set in stone now. I've got a whole year now to save up for more :grin01:

Oh, on another note, is it safe to have a snake with a possible respirtory infection in the same room with a few hatchlings? I know, this seems like one of those "duh" questions, but its not like they're right next to each other or anything. What is a safe distance?
 
Glad to hear you have some snakes again :) You online tonight?

But why did you purchase a sick snake? I would not wait to go to the vet btw.
 
Well, I didn't purchase the snake. I got it from an aquaintance at the local pet store, from his personal collection. I didn't know it was sick, because he didn't start his little cough thing until he got home. And then, I thought maybe he was just "hissing", because some snakes do that. I decided to wait to see if it was an ongoing thing, which it was. And, since I just started classes, and I don't even know where a good vet is, I have to wait until tomorrow to take him. I hate to put that on hold or anything, but I really don't have much of a choice. I raised the temp in his cage, though, and he only does that cough thing every once in a while now.
 
Let us know when you get those Motleys! Also keep us posted on how the other snake is doing! Talk to ya later!
