Success with my first import!

[Carinata]

So about a month ago I bought a Red-backed ratsnake from Outback reptiles. It was fine after I got it but it became stressed and stopped eating and developed blister disease. I treated the bister disease and got him eating again. Now he is eating pinks great so I snapped some pics today!

What is blister disease?

What is blister disease?

It is a diease where the natural bacteria on the snake's body cause blisters due to stress.

You ARE going to breed him down the road, right?

 

[Carinata]

Yep, gotta import a female next. Takes time though! I may get another with my imported SSS in May!

Hey, kiddo, how many snakes do you have at the moment?
