If any of you remember, I have a young water snake, with an injured back. Well, he is doing much better, and today for the first time since his spring peepers and redback salamnders while I was camping wiht him in Vermont, he ate!!!

He finally took 3 small minnows. The only thing that has changed was the relpacement of paper towels with dirt from my garden (all natural no chemicals). Also, he paralysis is much lessoned, and he has much more mobility!

You took it camping!? You are dedicated to that snake! Looks like he's doing quite well too. Usually spinal injuries are fatal in snakes.

Oh, it doesn't look like you can post pictures on here from photobucket. I had to look up your album from their home page.

That's a feisty looking little snake. When he goes camping, do you use a wool or nylon sock for his sleeping bag?

Hahah, we went in August, so cotton
