It's a humid hide! The humidity drops really low in my house in the winter, and it is much easier to provide a humid hide than it is to try to keep the entire enclosure where I want it. Dart only seems to use it when he's blue, but my kingsnake also has one and he LOVES it in there.
Drumcrush, we could! Dart is definitely the most photogenic of my snakes. (Sorry, Noodle.) There's got to be a few more garter peple lurking here as well as thamnophis.
Derek1, he's came to me eating pinky parts and is now on whole pinks. I've been pretty lazy and just keep him on that--I can't find frozen silversides locally. O.o
Minkness, he's a het pastel, but he'll look normal when he's all grown up! Pastel is odd, it shows up when they're babies (they're a brighter yellow then their normal siblings) but they all green up in to the normal olive as they age. Super pastels are bright yellow though, it's neat. If I ever find a super lady friend for him, I might try to wheedle my husband into letting me breed them. I really want neon California red sideds but haaaaa. Ha. So much more money. O.o
The only downside to this handsome snake is that HE WANTS NOTHING TO DO WITH ME.
I'm a scary, horrible monster. He's still a delight, though, I love catching him out and about. There's a definite bonus to diurnal snakes!
