Yup. I know I have been MIA on this forum for a bit...
Two days ago we picked a Royal Python at Petco. They were on sale, and this little girl was so skinny and pathetic we decided she needed rescue. I know it wasn't rescue, but for her it was.. The *****s at the petco had five Royals in a ten gallon sized enclosure. They fed three of the snakes F/T adult mice, one got live, and our new little girl was getting F/T fuzzies... one a week.
so yeah, I was told she is a good feeder. And they "couldn't figure out why she was so skinny" :dontknow: :dontknow: People are so dumb it astounds me sometimes...
Anyway, we have her set up in a ten gallon for now with a reptitherm, reptibark substrate, a dog dish with a cut out for a combo water dish/hide, and an oatmeal box for a second hide. Her tank is very much jerryrigged right now. After a month or two(after quarantine) we are going to get her in a proper tank. For now she at least has all her needs met.
On Wednesday it will be a week and I will offer her a large weaner f/t mouse. If she takes it I'll offer a second one.
