Of course I was talking about the mamba....

Good arrow tip though, eh?

haha, figured. XD

And I suppose so. :O

Have you checked Goozex for Tales of Vesperia? That is what your sig is from, correct? Amazon has it too.

Yeah, Goozex has it for 500 points. Not bad... but that's double what I've got atm. XD

Haven't checked Amazon, though. I shall, maybe they'll have a cheap copy. ^_^

Well, while Jayne isn't blue yet, parts of his scales are becoming duller and glazed looking. His belly is pink in spots too.

I don't know what to do. He has a dark spot on his belly, but doing more reading I found out that some corn snakes (snows or amels) you can actually see there organs when they're babies. O_O.

Bah. I just don't know what to do. I'd take him to a vet, but I don't really have the money. I'm also wary I'd get there, and the vet would be like "Yo, idiot--he's shedding". I also read that you should wait 10 days before feeding a snake that's regurgitated, and I fed him after two...Bah. I'm going to end up killing the poor guy by my own stupidity.

Your thoughts?

10 days? I've not heard that. Could be true though. I don't know everything. XD

He had a black spot on his belly? What does it look like? Honestly, that doesn't sound good... could be that it's just what happens when he sheds, could be worse.

A glazed and pink look is a sign of shedding, though. I can really only guess, as I haven't seen him to know exactly.

I honestly don't get why he'd not be eating, even when in shedding mode. I've never had a corn (or any snake for that matter) barf up a meal because they'll be going into shedding. Turn it down completely? Sure. But not eat it and then give it back.

Maybe contact the breeder who you got him from and ask at what temps he kept the corns at. Some snakes require different temps than others to be healthy/happy. Whether that means going up or down in temp... I cannot guess.

But yeah. I'd email, if you can, the breeder and ask him if he has any clue what's up. He probably knows the snake better than anyone, as he raised it and stuffz.

Hope that helps somewhat.

You should name your snake Solid?

Do you own Gears of War 2? I can't remember....

I did, played it to death. Sold it just recently, actually. I'll probably pick it up again down the road if I should renew my Live membership.

How come you ask?

We're currently renting it now. Wondered if you wanted to play some rounds or some'in'.

Hmm...contacted the breeder, her's what he said:

"Sounds strange... My suggestion is to wait a week, increase the temps in the cage slightly, and make sure you feed a very small pinkie mouse next time you feed! The dark spot is usually a BM which has not passed through the snake yet. Also, periodically every couple of days soak it in lukewarm water to replace any fluids he/she may have lost regurgitating. -Eric"

Tomorrow I'm going to start soaking Jayne. But I've also found a locale vet that is relatively inexpensive. Temps have increased anyway, since I started leaving the mat on 24/7.

When do you think I should consider a vet trip?

Ah. Well, I would... but considering I don't have it...

Great game though, eh?

If you feel he's really bad, I'd take him today or tomorrow (the breeder said a week, but it's already been a bit because you didn't contact him right off). Just make sure the vet is experienced in reptiles... it can be tough to find a vet who knows anything about them. -_-

Sounds like a good idea to soak him. Just make sure to feel the water with the back of you hand. Fingers... aren't trustworthy. >_<

Hope he's Okay, Chozon. Just know that this... isn't normal behavior for a corn. Like... at all. And from what I've read, you seem to be doing everything just fine.

Hopefully he'll just improve with a good warm soaking, and maybe the vet will have a better idea (again, make sure they're a herp vet XD). ^_^

Ever had a snake lay eggs?

Sadly... I have not.

Haven't started breeding yet, mainly due to space and not having a breeder pair. XD

It would be awesome, though. ^_^

Though I'd get no eggs, as I'd be breeding boas. XD

Ah, true... I always forget that not all snakes lay eggs. XD

So how are your holidays going so far?
