There are plenty of them there now. Here are some 6-year old photos (read or scroll down):

Our snake is not eating since late September, although it seems to be OK otherwise.

So we finally visited a snake veterinarian a few days ago. He said that the snake had a mild respiratory infection and put her on antibiotics. He said it's OK otherwise, in good shape, normal weight (perhaps, even slightly above). He expected the snake to start eating again in another week or so, as her infection goes away.

He advised us to reduce the frequency of feeding somewhat (to once in 7 to 10 days, from once weekly), and to stop using pine bark as substrate, as he saw various problems associated with the use of pine bark as snake bedding in his practice..

This time we saw her doing it:

"Да что там! Вот есть у меня знакомый. Здравый, толковый. Всех трезвей.
И, к слову сказать, не особо смелый. Но, что с ним ни делай, любит змей.
Бывало, неделю бредёт песками, лишь мотыльками себя кормя,
чтобы змею потрогать руками. Всеми руками. Четырьмя."

A friend gave us this snake, presumably for a year. He called her Zoe (we are not sure yet whether to give it another name). As you see, it is a great climber and a very inquisitive, curious snake.
