Topic: another first for me

Today when I got home I was checking out my new corn snake and saw her drinking for the first time.. Sure you guys may have seen it a hundred times, but for me it was brand new and super cool! I saw her from only a few inches away. Just thought I would let yall in on another first.  Thanks:)

My favorite thing is when snakes yawn!  They just look soooo funny?  And they do that even less frequently than drinking...(it's a good chance to look inside their mouths too, but it may be a while before you know what looks normal and what doesn't)

I agree,  the stretching of the jaw is a cool photo op!   I have sat patiently (er, well as patient as I get) outside my arboreal viper cages  after they eat, just waiting for a toothy pic.  It was rather surprising to find out those tiny heads hold some pretty big fangs!

I'm about to have an abruptly.

I actually have a photo of her in later yawn. Her mouth was shutting when I got the pic off. I will try to post it here.

Cool! One of my larger pigmies and my friend's female Tiger Reticulated Python just shed..AMAZING color big_smile  They look so cool the day after they actually shed.  They go milky for a few days, then clear up, and then anytime between 1-3 days later, they shed.

I'm about to have an abruptly.

She shed today! Your right! She is so pretty and feels so cool! My son and I looked like two kids at the christmas tree with that skin. Another first! AWESOME!

Yeah I actually saved my big pigmy shed this time.   I used to have my female western diamondback shed, and my East African Gaboon's shed simply because the patterning was so neat on it..LOL
