And, is your roommate still your roommate?

The snake needs to eat...but so far has refused a live mouse and f/t mouse...and has some burn (not sure if hot or cold) damage to his belly scales and some cold temp damage to a few areas along his back...my buddy at the pet store said it should all heal up in a few sheds. Snake's disposition is great just like it was before the escape.

So have you told you room mate that you got it back? Just to spite HER as she tried to do to you?

I am curious, and I hesitate to ask because you could say whatever you think I want to hear, but what are your setups like if she said that you neglect your animals?

No I have not told her I have it back...I dont want to get my buddy at the pet store stuck in the middle of this mess. I would rather just be done with her and the drama that seems to hover around her.

I dont believe in saying what ever I think people want to hear(i think its dishonest and manipulative...I have always been blunt and to the point cuz I would rather tell you the truth and possible offend or anger someone over lying to your face to spare being PC or one's feelings). I will tell you exactly like it is.

My set ups are that all my snakes are in T8s with underbelly heat at a constant 90 degrees as controlled by a herpstat 4...ambient temps are between 78 and 82 year round with a water bowl square in the middle and a standard reptile basics identical hide for each the cold side and hot spot. I completely empty and clean them by hand once a month and spot check/clean about 3-5 days. I check each T8 twice a day and feed them all once a week (sometimes closer to 8-10 days based on my schedule and their bodily functions)...rotating between live and F/t rats which they all devour with no problem except for my dumerils and 1 of the 11 BPs. I also have some fake greenery and a climbing log thingy that I made custom after buying a bunch of them at petsmart and redoing them in each tank. I have spared no expense in regards to my pets and just to give you all an idea of my roommate and former friend...she used to keep her cornsnake on no substrate and was convinced it needed both UVB and UVA basking lamps.

LOL, love her corn setup! Yeah, I believe you and good for you. Maybe she doesn't agree with tubs and thinks that since you didn't put them on leashes and take them for walks that you neglect them? Whatever man, some people are simply idiots and you can't fix stupid!
