    Quick Story
    Just a quick true story before I hurry off erranding, but my friend Jess was telling me about a conversation she had with a young woman about feeding her snake -I believe a bp. This girl works at a Petco, amusingly (or sadly) enough, somewhere in AZ.

    The girl was talking about she had tried to get her snake to take frozen prey but finally gave up as it seemed all he would take was live. This of course didn't sound at all unusual or strange, and Jess decided to joke with her.

    "Did you try defrosting it?"

    *dead serious* "Defrost it?"

    "... yes, defrost the frozen (mouse, rat, I don't remember)."

    "Oh, you're supposed to defrost them?"

    :omg: "...Yes."

    I can only imagine her poor lil BP staring at his ratcicle like "Quoi?" :confuzd: Good thing she gave up and started feeding him live!

    I'd refrain from generalizations; there are several current and former Petco and other large pet store chain employees who post here who do know what they are doing. =)

    *hums "Fuzzington the Snow Rat" to the tune of Frosty the Snowman* :P

    I'm just... so impressed that defrosting never even occurred to her. I mean... for seriously. :confused:
