Either the age or the feeding size and frequency are wrong, either way I would still recommend to have a fecal done just in case there is something else going on as well.
i was thinking about that as well. I am really hoping she is not sick, at least not right now. I do not know if i have another $200 to dish out right now. I already did three weeks ago for medication for the other snake. I was panicking about a RI ahah
you know, besides the fact that she most likely is not even 6. i do believe they might have starved her. She said she "outgrew" her cage. She must have been starving her in hopes that she would stay small. I asked her if the snake was on a fast for a while, and i was told no.

Re: 2 new pick ups. one disappointing
ya know. Its weird, "Killa" is very calm. It seems she has been around humans for a while. she kinda reminds me of an old lady animal. Like those animals who are so old that they don't care about anything. Like a dog who wont bark when someone rings the door bell because he is on the couch and just does not want to get up.
She spilled her water in her cage so i took her out to clean it, she was not nervous about me going into her home, i even put my arm and body in front of her picking up her substrate fast and she just stared at me, i put her in my boyfriends lap and she moved around got comfortable and stayed. she even let us rub her head and nose. We thought it was lovely but at the same time asked ourselves "is this even healthy?!" i thought maybe she is blind now, because i passed by her twice really fast. My other snakes quickly pull their head backs when they see something walk fast. killa didn't move. So, i put my hand near her eyes and moved. I just want to see her move her head in hopes she is not blind, but nope. she wont move her head. she just does not care.
some part of me things she could just be used to humans and maybe a "runt" and the other part of me thinks she could just be so weak that she does not care and accepts any threat with open arms.
sorry for the long post, you don't have to read. just more observing.
Another thing, it seems she wants to come out of her tub. Probably asking me to bring her food. [/size]
