I threw this together to fret about my snake.
[Don't continue if you don't like hearing about snakes eating small dead rodents.]
I fed her tonight and usually once she's gotten it, she's done fine for like, the last forever. Only tonight, she was struggling with swallowing--which has happened before, I mean, she has no hands and feeding is tough--but I looked over, and noticed some of the bark in her tank got caught on the mouse's tail which was the only part not in her mouth and I was worried she was going to eat that. But then--
she spits the whole thing back out. Which I've heard of happening, but my Kitty has never done this before.
And since then he's been opening and closing her mouth and making similar movements to swallowing, or generally just snaking about her tank, but I am worried to death she has a piece of bark still caught her her throat and I don't know what to do because I don't really have a way of checking. Now she's balled herself in the corner of the tank, and seems ok but I'm still worried because all I do is worry and 25% of my worrying goes into making sure my snake is alive.
On top of it she' shedding which I swear she just did. The good news is she finally shed her head and specs which he hasn't done in like the last three sheds--and ALL those came off as well. But that's basically as far as she's gotten. She seems to be trying to get the rest off too.
Probably the best thing to do is leave her alone and not try to feed her again til next week [she's wasted two mice this week, one by sitting on it, then other being this. And those f*ckers aren't cheap.]. But I don't want to sleep or go to my Indesign summer school class tomorrow [I work ahead of the teacher and I have to sit through lectures on things I've already figured out and urrrgh it's way more boring that it could be.] and all I want to do is wait up and worry about my damned snake.
I salvaged this set by making it a camp circe set.
