Censorship sucks?

[Nix]

Nice. XD You're a dancing fool.

Cameras?

lulz

And.

When they work? Yes. Every other time? notsomuch

>_<

Started BSG Season 2 yet?

I have not.

I don't own it yet, due to lack of funds.

But I just worked a few days (I'm in construction, so work is on and off) so I'll have a bit of money in my pocket once I receive my check. I may at least be able to spare the cash for 2.0, probably 2.5 as well. We shall see.

Believe me when I say though... I can't wait. XD

Hmm. Good question.

Probably either... Salem's Lot, Pet Sematary, The Shining, Firestarter or The Dark Tower series. I haven't finished TDT yet, but it's as good as anything I've read by him. o.o

You a fan of King?

Well, I haven't read any of his books yet... Drew recommended The Shining. I definitely want to read some of his stuff... just gotta get the parents to let me read 'em.

Favorite book(s) of all time?

lulz, yeah. His stuff has some things parents might object to... so yeah. I get that.

And.

Lord of the Rings, probably.

The movies are some of the best in film all time, and the books are 10X better.

Censorship sucks?

This is true, usually.

What type of censorship are you meaning, exactly?

[Chozon1]

Morning time?

[Nix]

As in... early morning awakeness? Oh yes. I love it. Always have.

[Chozon1]

Is fun. ^_^

I have another question about Jayne. He doesn't seem to be scooching around when I hold him as much, and earlier I caught him opening his mouth like he was yawning. Only once, and I've never seen him do this before. I looked up respiratory infections, and they seemed to imply the cage needed to be moist and/or cold for him to get one. His cage hasn't gotten cold since the last time, and he hasn't refuse food.

Too, he's pooing nicely, and it has plenty of liquid in it, so I know he's getting water. He also seems to inhale deeply and puff up when I hold him, but exhales when he get's back into his cage. Still hasn't bitten me, though.

Is he OK? Or am I being paranoid?

[Nix]

haha

Snakes do yawn, believe it or not. And if you see him opening his mouth like that after eating, he's resetting his jawbone. Almost every snake does it after a meal, sometimes more than once. Only exception is if the food is sooooo small their lower jaw doesn't detach. If he's yawning all the time... nonstop... then check the temps; that's a sign of being too warm (not one or two yawns, more like 5-10 within a hour or two, that sort of thing).

As to the puffing up... hmm. Not sure what's up with that. Is he going into a striking position of any sort, or looking irritable? Or does he just inhale when you pick him up and then go back to normal?

[Chozon1]

It's exactly like what you see animals that feel threatened do on TV, but he doesn't strike. He doesn't even look annoyed. Too, he's not dripping/draining out of his nose, or any of the other (more well known) signs of an RI. Just scooching slower, and yawning twice. He's done it twice now. Twenty four hours apart. And to be sure, I re-checked his cage temps. At the very hottest point (directly over the heat mat) it will hit 100 (keep in mind, that's only a 2-3 inch area. I freaked out when I saw it that high, but 2 inches away it was in the middle-high 80's) in the day, 90 at night. The cold end is at 74 now.

It could be I haven't held him in a week or so. When I spent the weekend away, I missed all the holding days, and got back just in time to feed.

Favorite genre of music? >.>

[Deepfreeze32]

How much Soundgarden have you listened to?

[Nix]

?

Ah.

I'd say it's probably just cuz he wasn't held for some time. My guys sometimes get a bit... odd... when I go for long periods without holding them (which is frequently, as it's sometimes tough to find time for everyone).

Yawning can be a sign of overheating, but if he's only done it twice then that's not it.

But as you said, the 100 degree temp is in a small area. Heat mats just fluctuate so much... it's crazy. XD

Where has he been sitting lately in his cage? Warm area, cold, under the bedding, etc.?

Anyway though, I wouldn't worry. I don't think anything is wrong whatsoever.

[Nix]

Missed these.

Favorite genre of music? >.>

Hmm... tough. I dunno if I can pick an all time favorite genre, as there's good and bad in every genre. XD

If I had to pick though... I'd probably go with melodic death metal mixed with some metalcore (i.e., The Agonist).

Or rap/rock.

Brutha, did ya forget ya name? Did ya lose it on the wall playing tick-tack-toe?

<_<

How much Soundgarden have you listened to?

Only random songs on Youtube, sadly. I don't think I own anything (I know I don't own anything legit, maybe some burnt stuff but ain't sure...).

Do love though.

To actually buy an album, which would you suggest?

[Chozon1]

At the moment, he's sitting on the hot side with his head under the paper. Last night, he sat in the middle of the cage and stared at me for two hours. O_O Seriously. I held him, then put him in his cage to sleep. So he crawled up to the edge of his cage and stared.

When I woke up this morning, he was on the cold side. I think you may be right though, as today, he's a lot "better". Gave him a bath, and he hated it. But swam around in it for awhile. Quite speedily. I'ma keep an eye on him (as usual) and feed him later...probably around midnight.

Sound good?

[Nix]

Sounds very good. ^_^

Dude, it's impossible to beat a snake at a staring contest. I've tried. o.o

And lol, my corn absolutely hates getting soaked in water. Like, completely. I don't do it often (it's not good to, believe it or not; causes unnecessary stress but it's useful during a shed phase), but when I do... yeah. He's so different than the boas, who just sink to the bottom and stick their nose tips out and sit there. lulz, different snakes are lulzy.

Sounds like you're got things under control, man. Which is awesome.

Do you hold Jayne ever day, normally? Except right after feeding, of course. XD

[Chozon1]

I wouldn't say I have things under control/ He's not eating. Which, admittedly, is better than regurg'ing. But still worrisome. Too, he lifts his abdomen off the cage floor when he breathes, and if I hold him near my ear, I can hear a clicking noise. -_-

That, combined with his lethargy, from what I've read, means RI. But...I just don't think that's possible. Room humidity is at 35-40 percent, increasing only when I misted him (which is rare. In fact, aside from when he was shedding, I've only done it once when he was out of water for a few hours.), and you saw what his temp was at. I put it back on the thermostat a few hours after I attempted to feed hi, though. See if that helps. 100 is really too hot...

Edit: Just saw him doing the open mouth breathing thing again. Definitely breathing, because I saw his torso inflate, then deflate at the same time as open mouthness.

What I do now?

I'm considering sitting on the floor and crying. -_-

[Nix]

Well, try lowering the temps a bit. Don't let anything go over 90, because that sounds like overheating; again though, I don't get why that is... as it's only 100 in that one small area, right? And he's not even sitting there?. If need be, hook everything up to the thermostat.

That really does sound like a RI (especially the clicking)... but like you said, that makes no freaking sense. From my experience, corn's are extremely hardy and don't get stuff like that unless the conditions are really bad. But it just doesn't sound like the cage is extremely damp. Cold can cause one as well, but that isn't the case if those temps are right with what you've been saying.



What size water dish are you using, btw? And... do you clean it out ever two days or so? Like, just take a hot washcloth and wipe it down on the inside. I don't know if that makes any difference, but I do it with all my snakes' dishes on a every-other-day basis.

Hope that helps.
