Someone opened their van door while I cycled past this Tuesday and knocked me off my bike so what was supposed to be a nice day for a ride turned out to be a day in hospital.
Luck was on my side as I had no broken bones and hadn't been squashed by any oncoming cars.
Anyway this is supposed to be a snake diary so............
I took William to the vet this week, I was given some medicine to encourage his appetite as he is sadly becoming thinner by the minute.
Once he has finished this - 6 days powder mixed in 25ml of water - if he doesn't eat still I will try to force feed him to get his stomach juices going.
The snakes and I were very busy for two days this week doing presentations at a local school 8 classes Monday and 9 Thursday considering I was aching all over from my fall I managed well, the snakes managed famously, I took 8 snakes and used only 4 for each presentation, trying to give 4 a rest, although it doesn't really work as once they are out they want to stay out not go in and out all the day!!!
We also had our channel 4 - 3 minute wonder film this Thursday but I was so out of touch with reality after my fall that I forgot to ring important family members to tell them and even missed the first minute myself because I was giving William his medication:-}
Since one of the Spotted Pythons died the other is much better behaved, talking to the guy that bred them it seems that, from his experience too they are better living alone. The learning process continues.
