    I thought all the excitement was gone from this site then I took a quick browse of this thread...

    As a note for any new people that read through this thread. Babies that are striking are most likely hungry. Anything that moves may be food in their very small brains. I haven't added animals from outside my collection for quite a while but when I did I always attempted to feed them immediately. About half the time they will eat. Many breeders do not feed at a rate we would in private collections and or a feeding has been intentionally skipped before shipping so there are no regurgitation issues during the shipment. Animals, especially young ones arrive hungry. If the animal does not eat immediately, make it comfortable then don't mess with it for a week.

    NomaReptiles...do you even half-way realize how stressful it is for snakes to be re-homed? And I mean beyond just the shipping, just the whole process negatively
    affects their immune system, making them more likely to become ill. Please, PLEASE, in the future do more research before acquiring snakes...I mean this in the
    nicest way possible...but it's just not fair to the snakes to be treated as inanimate objects. I thought I was seeing things when I saw the thread about your whole
    (BP) collection up for sale....:confusd: Snakes are not domestic animals...they're entitled to act like snakes. :( No matter whether they're hungry or afraid.
