Brooks with poor muscle tone...

BobS Jul 14, 2010 01:47 PM

While cleaning and feeding I realized a Sulfur was not as rigidly muscle toned as my Easterns. Seems fine in all other aspects. Growing, good appetitie and defecating regularly. Any suggestions?

Maybe getting him to excercise?




Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Are those little balls snake proof? Would it be sick and twisted to put a mouse in one that's too big to swallow and drop it in the snake cage?

I use a laser pointer to get my slider to chase things too. But I don't think kings are visually cued enough to do that.

Yeah. It's a bit of a trick to get it on the reflective side of the aquarium, but if you can he'll chase it pretty intently. He'll also chase fingers that are 2-3" from the glass. I think, when my pond is done, I'm going to buy a small remote control boat and see if he'll chase it.

I found this on a Brazilian news site (my wife is from brazil)and posted it in the turtle forums. It is quite amazing.

a153fish Jul 14, 2010 02:55 PM

But I don't think he can use those headphones, lol.
The snake looks healthy to me, and beautiful I might add.
