He's still doing ok. But...my worst fears were realized. He probably came with something extra...or my tank wasn't fully cycled...or both. I think I got him through the worst though because he went back to his friendly little self.

Oh so they are rescued...I've never been bitten by a snake in the wild. And have met several. I have been chased by a blue racer though when I almost stepped on the darling.

Yes they are all previous pet reptiles that have ended up there for a number of reasons. There is an anaconda there who’s original owner didn’t know how big he would get... should of done his research.
We only have 3 native snakes in the UK. Grass snakes, smooth snakes and adders which are the only venomous snake species here. I’ve seen a lot of adders and I also nearly stepped on one.
You got me started and I had to Google it. The two "blue racers" I've encountered were probably a grass ribbon snake variety. One in Ohio and one in Florida but that's what people call them so I did. They still got mad enough to chase me when I almost stepped on them. If I was a critter I'd have bit me though one way or another. That's the only 2 snakes in the wild I've encountered that became aggressive to me and no wonder. As a child, I accidentally stepped on a huge female black snake. She just looked at me and didn't do anything. They are so necessary.
I got 2 with global stamps out today. And then it's us... I love my card from Blackdog and Keri has the cutest smile ever.
I can't catch up and I've been on here a little bit everyday. I'm sure no one is going to mind...
those fins are GORGEOUS!!!!
I wish his fins were like they were before he got sick. For him. I didn't know enough. But he's been acting better since I started using aquarium salt and I also used betta fix. His personality is so cute. He's so friendly and it's not always about food. I think he likes looking at us as much as we enjoy looking at him.
Misty finally got a first hand look ( and smell ) of an opossum. I was putting the leopards away and I heard her barking off in the distance. I always go to her when she barks because that's her job and I want to praise her, no matter what she barks at. Well, she was in the box turtle yard and barking at something at the edge of the turtle pond. It was a juvenile opossum, playing 'possum. It was on its side sort of curled in the fetal position, with its mouth open, showing those fearsome teeth. Misty wasn't harming it, just barking at it, probably telling it to run so she could chase it. I told her she was a good girl and that was enough and she left it alone. I scooped it up with the shovel and put it under the propane tank. And Misty and I went off and about our business. She's SUCH a good dog!
The are so cute. Popular as pets here in the USA but I have never had one..(can you believe that??) . I hope the worst of sound is over!
Lol!!! I see I am definitely missing a few Posts here and there.. how frustrating!!!
You can never go wrong with a home made burger.. I screen shot your pie recipe. I think it’s the same as one my mother had but I’m going to make it this week either way. My husband got to steal A few extra hours before leaving today so I met him in town at a little restaurant called Cajun Tex. It’s usually pretty good food but today just seemed so-so. He had some fried fish smothered with etouffe and I had garlic Parmesan chicken.. .. for supper, I had some homemade fudge that my son & I made Sunday with a half a glass of wine
I was just reading another thread and a member had a link to what you are talking about. I figured out what was wrong with the thermostat. The plug was a little loose and was pulled out a bit. I spread the prongs a little for a tighter fit.
I am assuming it is like cheese cake?
I have been the contributor to roadkill deer twice. Not so good for the deer or the front end of my truck.
What brand do you have?

Sounds like a plan. But I figure it is better to be cold and try and warm up than too hot and try to cool down. That is why I love winter. You can always add blankets and jerseys or jackets for winter to get warm but can never take off enough clothes to get cool. And being a woman not even that option id fully available unless of course I stayed in a nudist colony.
