All the littles from HF19 in order left to right, top to bottom, with their first meals. #3 and #5 haven’t eaten yet but 7 out of 9 ain’t bad for a first attempt! They each weighed in at 6 grams before their first dinners except #5, the lonely twin, who is currently 4 grams. We’ll leave them be for a couple of days to digest and then do a preliminary quick tail-pop to see which are boys and which are girls and update their ID codes. Once they’ve successfully eaten 6 dinners by themselves, they’ll be ready to go up on MorphMarket!

Hello new friend!I don’t want to count my snakes before they hatch, but as of this moment there are 29 eggies in my incubator, filled with little dreams that might become snakes. Hatshepsut and Yurei Hime are both VERY gravid and are taking their sweet times thinking about laying, so we’ll see what they come up with.I don’t have an accurate count of snakes off the top of my head because my current collection includes animals that are for sale and a handful of n00bs who aren’t named or counted in yet. Species-wise, I keep corn snakes, hognose snakes, eastern black rat snakes, Texas rat snakes, Everglades rat snakes, and a single precious little gopher snake called River.You can see the current named roster with links to posts featuring that snake by clicking here: https://omg-snakes.tumblr.com/links

(My very first snake was an amel corn snake i got for my 8th birthday after insisting that nothing but a snake would do. I’d wanted a tricolor kingsnake or milk snake, but i got Candy Corn Corny Corn Snake (did I mention i was 8?) and he was flawless. So i have a soft spot for the species and morph.)

Soooo I'm a little worried about Lorelai. A couple weeks ago I noticed her sneezing and breathing noisily so I took her to a vet because it sounded like she had an RI. The vet gave me syringes of antibiotics to give her so I gave her the shots for a week. All RI symptoms seem to be gone now, but she hasn't eaten since the day before she first started getting the injections. I brought her back to the vet and he said that everything seems fine, just needs to eat. It's been 2 1/2 weeks since she's eaten now. Every time I offer her a mouse she gets angry and hisses at it but won't take it. How can I get her to eat?
