I found a 5-6" baby ring snake. How can I best care for him. ?

He feels cold to me. I tried to feed him a gnat that I had just killed but he didn't eat it.
I cannot let him go where he was found because he was found inside our school. Yes, my hands are warm and his body is cold but I have since put him somewhere warm. I have contacted our locale university and their Biology department is coming to get him soon and they have the ability to care for him properly. Thanks for your help.

The best thing to do would be to find a wooded area and release it. Ringnecks are incredibly difficult to care for in captivity. Their main choice of food is salamanders. And they eat other hard to obtain food items such as centipedes. They often refuse to eat in captivity, and they definitely won't eat gnats. You can try a worm, but if that doesn't work, releasing it before it dies would be the best option.

EDIT: What does the fact it was found in a school have to do with you not being able to release it? You CAN release it, but it sounds like you just don't want to. Take it to a wooded area and let it go if you care about it. Otherwise, it's just going to die since they are difficult to keep alive in captivity.

Were you able to wear your wedding or engagement ring after having a baby?

Dec 23, 2008 by Your My Whole World | Posted in Newborn & Baby

I wore my wedding ring my whole pregnancy except for maybe 2 weeks that my fingers where a bit swollen. After I had my baby I couldn't wear it my fingers were swollen, I lost the baby weight and cannot wear my ring still. Does it happen to every mother? My baby is almost 7 months, my fingers haven't gotten thinner should I just get it re-sized or does it take a while longer to sometimes be able to wear your rings.

I couldn't wear my wedding rings anymore when I hit about 7 months pregnant.

All of the swelling made it impossible.

I was able to wear it comfortably again after about a week and a half to two weeks.

Getting baby bottle ring unstuck from cap?

Apr 24, 2008 by Pregnant with # 2 !! | Posted in Newborn & Baby

I bought a bunch of evenflo bottles [3 4oz size] and the rings to secure the nipple are all stuck in the cap.. and as a first time mom, I'm baby bottle retarded... how do I get them out?

Did you try pushing them through from the top of the nipple? They should pop right out. If they are really stuck, try to soak them for a few minutes in very hot water. If they still don't come off, there's something wrong. You might be able to take them back to the store.

We used Avent bottles. They are a little more expensive, but they last longer, don't leak, and cause less bubbles (so your baby won't be as gassy).

Make sure to wash them every time they are emptied, so that milk doesn't harden in the tiny space between the nipple and ring.

Hope this helps!

Can a bellybutton ring mess up the chances of having a healthy baby?

Oct 12, 2007 by Cookie | Posted in Other - Pregnancy & Parenting

Well, not saying that I'll have a baby NOW, and im not pregnant NOW, but I want a bellybutton ring, and I heard that if you get a bellybutton ring, it could mess up the chances of having a healthy baby. Is that true?

no but when your tummy gets bigger it needs to be taken out because it could split and rip which would really hurt. I got my bellybutton pierced before I had kids and had problems with it, took it out when I got pregnant, finished having kids, and just got it repierced last month. No problems now and it didn't hurt at all this time. If you want it done just keep in mind for the future that when you have kids it has to be taken out, but can be redone after it heals. I waited seven years and had three kids before I decided to do it again. Also, make sure they use a colorless stainless steel barbell, not a ring. Why colorless? because the color can actually rub off into you body and cause major problems, stainless steel is the most sanitary, and a ring is too tight and gets snagged on everything and it's hard to keep clean and move like you are supposed to. Take it from a person who knows, I had a blue titanium ring the first time around and it was infected and I had a cyst within two weeks. Now I have a little stainless steel barbell and no problems.
