[QUOTE="fender66, post: 174004, member: 2990"] Nate... Temps you have are fine. I'm guessing the rock is a little warmer than 70 degrees. It is winter anyway and they are more dormant in cool temps. Water snakes are the first out of hibernation and the last in, so they can handle cooler temps pretty well. That is the musk that I mentioned. If you want more of the same....go ahead and pick him up. Your call as it's not likely that you will domesticate him. :wink: He can easily eat a minnow with a diameter size of his head. Feed him enough so that you see the bulge in his belly. Once you see the bulge...he's fed enough but will eat more if you offer it. A couple times a week like that and he'll be fine and grow well. He will also shed his skin with his growth rate. Feed more....grow more...shed more often. There is NOT a set # of times a snake sheds each year. [/QUOTE]
