Today I got the results from the vet: my little snakes do not suffer from parasites!
05.12.01
006-010 had an extra fish-meal today. All of them except 006 who wasn't hungry had two smelt.
08.12.01
Today for the first time one of my snakes bit me. 006 is in the shedding process
right now and didn't like it at all when I tried to give her the ointment the vet
had prescribed.
09.12.01
Perfect shedding of 006.
10.12.01
The small agents had smelt with a vitamine compound today. 006 and 008 ate one and 010 two. I couldn't convince 009 of the fish.
16.12.01
Perfect shedding of 010.
18.12.01
Feeding time: 010 and 008 immediately ate the two smelt I offered. 009 was
satisfied after only one smelt and 006 refused food today.
19.12.01
008 has joined the circle of newly shedded snakes. She lost her skin without any
complications.
22.12.01
Smelt again and this time everyone of my snakes participated in the meal. My
babies all had two smelt.
24.12.01
Today I found 009's Christmas present for me in the terrarium: a perfect skin!
27.12.01
Last meal for the juvenile snakes for this year. The two smelt I had offered
them were gone really quickly!
30.12.01
Two final phrases: I have found out that 010 really loves to bathe. Especially
after a meal he can be found in the water bowl and nothing on earth can disturb
him.
I believe to have found out that 008 is a male. We'll see if this turn out to be
true.
