RE: Close encounter with a snake... should a snake be killed if found within a torto
I had the same situation and grabbed long tongs out of the kitchen and a plastic pitcher with lid and held my snake 7 inches from the head and quickly pulled it up and out. I did this three times (three...
Do you have a Petco nearby? Our local Petco started selling safe plants :)!! They have a live plant area next to the torts. Just throwing it out there.
I also I added a lot of fake plant designs -- and they love them too. Fake ivy hanging along the interior wall and hanging down around the...
