Spots and stripes

@garter-regius

Welcome to my snake blog. Meet Rufus (normal ball python) and Dante (california red sided garter snake). This blog supports huge enclosures and enrichment for both species. About me: I´m an adult from Germany, trying to improve my english skills by spending way too much time online (and totally loving it).

How to NOT grab food. Rufus, why?

This blog is not dead.

Rufus is fine. Dante is fine, too, actually he´s in brumation. I have to clean and rearrange the enrichment in his enclosure, but not today and not tomorrow.

It makes me so happy to see him interact with the enrichment in his enclosure!

You have been visited by the Real Plants Snake! It brings you ... real plants, I suppose? Please take good care of them.

So ... lets just say I spent 15 + hours fixing/replacing things. Adhesive tile and epoxy resin needs a lot of time to dry, even on a warm day. And YES, that´s the entire insulation of Rufus enclosure.

The MONSTER enclosure got a full clean.

Got the job done, everything is fixed. We´re ready for autumn/winter!

Bonus: A hissing, angry and impatient ball python who tried to escape several times. (He seemed to be pretty relieved when I put him back into the enclosure.)
