Zeke Update

I decided to let Zeke out for some sun today so I could snap a few pictures of him. I know the McVey family likes to check my blog for pictures of the snakes, so I figured this is a good time to do it. There are about three more that I'm going to post on my photo blog, so you can see them there.

Zeke has been getting a lot better. Some of you may or may not know that he likes to be picky, and go for the entire winter without eating - he went nearly ten months without food this year; they can go for up to six months without it getting dangerous - but he's back in the habit now. He's not quite as lethargic as he used to be, which is good, and he's been eating and pooping regularly, which is also good. I'm a little concerned that he's got another skin infection, but that's not a hard thing to fix; we'll just have to go to the vet so he can give us shots to give him. He's also shed about two or three times within the past couple months, which means he's growing at a good rate. The only problem with the shedding is that his eye caps are getting dry again, but that's another easy fix. All I'll need to do is, next time he sheds, rub some aloe vera gel on his eyes once or twice a day until he sheds; the dried up, wrinkly skin comes right off! That's all the new stuff with him that I can think of for now. I'm gonna try to get him into the vet sometime within the next month or two, so I'll post more updates once we get him in.
