    I made Snakey a new hide without rough edges today, and he seems quite happy.

    Snakey sure is a pretty color. How old do snakes live in captivity?
    The frost is on the pumpkin & I've been BOO'D by two pet talk ghosts.
    Thank you Fritz & Cassiesmom

    The oldest living corn snake I've heard of was 24...I think 16-18 is more typical. So Snakey is certainly a senior citizen!

    Snakemama, how is your guest doing with his medication? Does his wound look better?
    Praying for peace in the Middle East, Ukraine, and around the world.

    I've been Boo'd ... right off the stage!

    Aaahh, I have been defrosted! Thank you, Bonny and Asiel!
    Brrrr, I've been Frosted! Thank you, Asiel and Pomtzu!

    He's doing great! I think it's a little too cold for him right now, I need to ask my sister in law if she has any extra heaters. He came to me with a heat lamp, but I'm afraid it would dry out his skin, plus I worry that the cats would knock it over and start a fire.

    The wound and the stitches are looking quite nice. I'm always amazed at seeing scales sutured through, but it looks nice and smooth and like it's starting ot heal. Snakes heal S L O W L Y, so I probably won't see much difference for a week or more, but for now no news is good news!
