Benedick (the charcoal baby snake) has died :-( He would not eat, and I think he had mites. Luckily he was still within warranty so
shadesong and I went to the pet store and got him exchanged for another one. This one is a classic corn morph (
like this) and I was assured that he had been treated with mite preventative and had eaten several meals already (you could still see the bulge from his last one), so hopefully he will thrive. Claudio (the reddish one) is still doing fine, at least so far. Oh, and the new one's name is Prospero :)
