Cheesecake! - 7 months old (almost)

She's a few days shy of 7 months and recovering from the suspected scale rot extremely well thus far. (Don't want to jinx it!)
She eats two pinkies a week and has been since she was about 2 months old. Cheesecake is thriving and doing good. :)
Not to mention she's pretty :p :p

I love her pin stripe! I must have missed previous posts about her, I'm glad she's doing well for you now!
 
Her pinstripe is indeed cute. :D She's p.h. for genetic stripe (some of her siblings displayed the trait) and also het for caramel.
She's BOSS. Her little dots on her back are connected randomly at some spots. So cute. :D
I love her. Will upload more pics soon.
As for taking care of her....well thanks. But I honestly feel like more than help, I did bad by allowing the infection to get to the point it did in the first place. I feel like a bad owner. :(
I'm not trying to whine or make drama. I just feel like that. My snakes are my babies. I made one of my babies get sick. :(
I have been changing her newspaper and disinfecting her tank every other day though. I learned a lot about cleaning and how often it should be done.
We also got her a perfect hide, it has a waterbowl on top and a space carved underneath for her to hide. It's a ceramic dish, I believe.
She loves it. :)
And she doesn't pee under it either--she uses her other hide we put in their for that. (Empty butter tub, carved a door into it for her).
So yeah. I think everything might get better from here on out. :)
Thanks for the comments you guys. Loved them.
 
I'm really happy to hear your girl is on the mend. I know how you're feeling; I went away for a few days in November and came back to a dirty king snake cage. He had a few irritated scales on his belly, so it became a routine of cleaning and disinfecting the cage every day and putting him on paper towels and keeping him dry. The vet has since given him a clean bill of health, but it still made me feel so guilty that I let my little guy get like that. I felt like the worst snake owner.

He's getting ready to shed for the second time since the problem started, so I'm happy he's getting himself healed up. They're amazingly resilient creatures, but unfortunately it takes them much longer to heal skin problems than it takes for us, so it's a lot of waiting and worrying before they improve.
