I just sent a message to her. I really hope she either brought it back or someone else informed her on its proper care.

way to go!! i read it. i only hope that she has gotten help by now and that the snake is well

I caught the episode. My relatives scream for me to come into the room whenever a snake is on, lol.

That burm was flat out adorable. But assuming her caging conditions stayed the same, it'd be dead by now. RI would have set in and suffocated it.

i also saw the episode and she said she wanted a snake but she didnt say what kind she said " i want one that gets big but doesnt cost alot" or something like that and the guy at the store offerd her a burm even though he did bring out a REALLY big one for her to see i dont think she really cared. it makes me mad when people just go out and buy an animal when they have no clue about it whether it be a snake or somthing else. ohhh and just incase all of u guys dint see it, brad got a snake too it was an albino one i think it was a new fad in the house.

I noticed it also. But there was a heat source in the form of a under tank heater. Hopefully they info her a hide spot and keeping a correct temp gradient. Plus humidity. Also one of the other house member's ended up having an albino burmese. Wonder if he knew what the hell he was doing or getting into. Come on if you know nothing on how to keep a snake healthy how are you going to keep a snake that is sure to get a tleast 15 feet! IDIOTS!!!!

The sad thing is, three of them from the real world got burms, I highly doubt they know or even care about the setup or care those giant snakes need, and I'm sure once they hit 7-8 ft they'll be looking to get rid of them ...

ok,i know brad and frankie got one but who else did ??

i think the other one was jacquese (however you spell his name)

and they did show how big the snake gets, and franki prbably though it was "cool" or something

and they made friends at the pet shop, and the guys from there brought big snakes over, and they had a rabbit, and it was alive to begin with, and cold, so robin tried to warm it up with a hair dryer, and it had convulsions and died, so they just placed it in the water and watched it float away

then later, they put a dead mouse in a plastic bottle, and lit it on fire!

ugh! thats just sick.

I saw it last night, it was on the after show thingie and the name of the show was called "the sh*t they shouldve shown" and i turned it on just in time to see them put it in the bottle, cover it with paper,set it on fire and send it out to sea. It was pretty bad but the mouse was dead already, the way you described it it sounded like it was alive or somthing.

I live in San Diego, and i KNOW and have BEEN to that pet store, let me point out that it is one of the worst pet store EVER, they tell you anything to buy something, I went in there to buy my snake, i bought one for 40 dollars it was a baby,BTW The BAD pet store is called Pet Kingdom, so anyways they told me they were ALL captive bred, well i am not sure if thats right but let me explain the BP, so i went to these REAL experts, and they said it was a little thin adn to feed it more, i told them i just got it, so anyways i got home, it refused food, i was holding it, well what did i see? A MITE CRAWLING ON IT!!! >:( it really pissed me off, i returned it imidiatly (For store credit >:( ) my dad said to just get another snake to see how it is, so i got a larger yearling, and well what did it have? MITES (it could have been from the other BP, i think it was) oh and what did it do? bite the **** out of me like 10 times, so i sold it to the pet store i speak highly of(THE PROS) its called vets pets, and they got rid of the mites and bought it for 20 bucks, i bought a BP from Petco for there summer special, for 30 dollars. so in conclusion, its not frankies fault, Pet Kingdom doesnt care at all, AND when i told them it had mites and that it wouldnt eat, they said they didnt have the mites a week ago because they just cleaned there cage, i talked to another person about there feeding schedules and that OTHER person said they dont know because they just got them friday(this was on a wednesday) which means that they were not even there a week ago, which leads me to think they were wild caught, my BP(the one i have now) got mites, i got prevent a mite and havnt seen them since, so thats my amazing, horrible story about Pet Kingdom.

PS: I know it was pet kingdom because they have the same exact set up and they have the huge turtles, and they DO have a wide collection, yet there liers cheaters and stealers( they steal your money ) so in conclusion, (im done with my rambling) frankie was not at fault, she trusted the petstore, like i did.
