Hi i'm Tas and I have a Mexican black king snake named Noodle. I would appreciate all your advice so that I can be a better mom to Noodle.
I'm trying my best to put my snake on a carrying schedule since I never held him yet. I had him for about 3 months.
After all my research, I realized it wasn't good enough.
I gave Noodle a tank with real plants and soil. ( dumb idea I now know )
And I stress dumb idea
. So I haven't been successful in feeding Noodle. first time around the meal was to big, the seller apologized and told me he is suppose to be on pinkies not hoppers and that it was labeled wrong on his card. The vomit I did not notice off the bat because it blended in with the scenery. 2nd attempt and 3rd not sure..... while I was trying to carry Noodle today I found that he had vomited at some point, not sure if that was his 2nd or 3rd meal, but I believe it was his 3rd at least i'm really hoping so. temps did drop low, and our heat wasn't coming on consistently. I bought a 100w ceramic heat emitter so that Noodle wont have this problem again. I'm assuming this meal was a fail because of the temperature dropping at night. Do you think I should take him to the vet? This Friday (Noodle meal days) I will attempt to feed him again then check that whole week to see if he vomited. He looks fine so i'm hoping it was the temps thats causing the problem.
I really want to carry and bond with Noodle but its challenging. the last feeding he reuse to take his food from the tongs, so I had to place the food on a small plate and leave the room for 10 mins. Only then he are his meal. I think because of this live tank he doesn't see me often. He hides all the time, and it doesn't help that I have to really dig for him to find him which I could imagine being really scary for Noodle.
Anyways I look forward to being a successful mom to Noodle and learning as much as I can and making new friends in this forum.
you would think he has feet the way he runs from me. He likes to do victory laps around his tank while sticking his tongue out. what an embarrassing sight is must be watching me trying to hold my snake while he escapes my grasp.
