It's All About the Herps: Picky Eaters

http://amandajusticesnakes.blogspot.com/2013/03/picky-eaters.html

It's All About the Herps. When Mom Meets Snake. Friday, March 29, 2013. Last night, my twerpy male snakes gave me fits. Slither wouldn't eat, period. Didn't sniff his pink, just ran away from it to the point where Choreboy and I threw up our hands, put him back into his substrate, and gave the remains of the day to an already-well-fed Sarah. My brain hurts. I just wish my stupid snakes would eat. And shed. Sigh. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Me, with a friend. View my complete profile. 01 (female) ...

It's All About the Herps: Whatever Works

http://amandajusticesnakes.blogspot.com/2013/02/whatever-works.html

It's All About the Herps. When Mom Meets Snake. Thursday, February 28, 2013. It's almost bedtime for me, but I couldn't go down without sharing the feeding time story for the night. I was on my own with the snakes this evening since the Gum Zombie was tied up with homework. I started by giving our pet rats a tiny piece of cheese and a wedge of apple each. I tell myself this makes up for the fact that I'm thawing out their frozen brethren a few doors down. When I was finished I checked Scales again. D...

It's All About the Herps: Updates :)

http://amandajusticesnakes.blogspot.com/2013/12/updates.html

It's All About the Herps. When Mom Meets Snake. Sunday, December 8, 2013. Wow, I've been slacking haven't I? I guess in a way that's good. All is well with the beasties. I weighed Lucy today and she's now over 1000 grams, which means she's pretty much 10x the size she was when I got her a little over a year ago. Sarah is well over 200 grams, Slither finally cleared 60 grams (took that boy long enough, after a several-week feeding strike. sheesh! And a lighter phase:. We shall have no "Oopsies". Yuck.

It's All About the Herps: Vet Report :)

http://amandajusticesnakes.blogspot.com/2013/07/vet-report.html

It's All About the Herps. When Mom Meets Snake. Sunday, July 21, 2013. Well, Leonard (I've bumped the spelling to the English variant because remembering the "H" was messing with my head) is doing pretty well. He's eaten for me every week except last, which he refused, but he ate again this Saturday so it appears all is well in his scaly little world. Anyway, we're good to go! I know it was 18g because I weighed him prior to The Event and he'd hit 102g, but afterward he dropped to 84g. Impressive! 45-yea...

It's All About the Herps: Hah! This will take care of it...

http://amandajusticesnakes.blogspot.com/2015/06/hah-this-will-take-care-of-it.html

It's All About the Herps. When Mom Meets Snake. Tuesday, June 16, 2015. This will take care of it. The Sarah Rat and Bella are still trucking around, even with their ever-growing tumors. But at 30 months they're not long for this world, so our season of pet-death will continue until the last rat shuffles off its mortal coil. I have solved a future iteration of this problem with our latest addition to the zoo. Meet Sam:. So much cuteness, I die! Regarding how this fixes the pet death situation? 45-year-ol...

It's All About the Herps: Gratuitous Boa Shot

http://amandajusticesnakes.blogspot.com/2014/10/gratuitous-boa-shot.html

It's All About the Herps. When Mom Meets Snake. Friday, October 31, 2014. Because my friends are awesome, one of them took this picture of Leonard when I took him to dance class with me this week:. I love how his little head is just peeping out from under my hair :). I'm a total slacker with Halloween costumes, but my teacher has wanted to meet one of my scalier critters and we agreed Halloween would work marvelously for that. So here I am, in all my non-costumed glory, snake in tow:. Me, with a friend.

It's All About the Herps: So long, farewell...

http://amandajusticesnakes.blogspot.com/2015/04/so-long-farewell.html

It's All About the Herps. When Mom Meets Snake. Monday, April 6, 2015. So long, farewell. I last posted in October of 2014, and figured it was all good to go. In all fairness, it should have been. Sadly, my Emily got sick mid-November of 2014 and after a week's hospitalization, we had to make the very difficult (yet agonizingly easy) call to have her put down. She had an extremely aggressive cancer and in spite of our efforts, there was nothing we could do. And finally, to this:. But they're our babies&#...

It's All About the Herps: Sheds and Whatnot

http://amandajusticesnakes.blogspot.com/2013/08/sheds-and-whatnot.html

It's All About the Herps. When Mom Meets Snake. Friday, August 23, 2013. Because life is so exciting I figure I'd share that both Leonard and Slither managed to shed within the past couple of weeks, and both did so with an absolute minimum of muss and fuss. Yay, snakes! And let me state now, if you haven't already figured it out, but I am an idiot. The "smear" I saw on the bottom of his mouth was his tongue, and the one on the top? Weight edit (I'm a little late - it's Monday, 8/26 now): 115 grams! 45-ye...

It's All About the Herps: Backwards

http://amandajusticesnakes.blogspot.com/2013/06/backwards.html

It's All About the Herps. When Mom Meets Snake. Saturday, June 15, 2013. I didn't do that with our boa. Consistency is apparently not my strong suit. We weren't really planning on another snake quite yet. I knew I wanted either a boa constrictor or a Dumerils boa, and although I adore how Dumerils look (they are gorgeous. But when I ran across our new addition I just couldn't resist. See the little guy in there? So, yeah. Stressed, that'd be me. Possibly the snake, too. Prayerfully not. I'm hopeful that ...
