Were I not concerend about the animal I would not have spent my morning looking for a place that sales mice in my area. I want nothing to do with this animal but I am attempting to feed it and care for it because I am the only adult who is home more than 6 hours a day and has time to do any research on the matter.
I certainly will not be back here.
I am sorry to say this, I just skipped the rest of the posts after reading this, you probably don't need to have this snake.
I am not trying to be rude condescending or any thing else.
This is just not fair. It is not fair to you at all in any way shape or form I am very sorry that you have to deal with this. I know you said you would not be back and you should come back these people collectively know EVERY THING about snakes.
This is very very very unfair to the snake. If it is not happy then why have it. Would you keep a dog if it just whined all the time because it wanted something that you could not provide. Just because the snake is not vocal does not mean that it does not feel. You will end up with a snake that no one can handle .
This is not fair to your children they obviously like the snake if they are looking at it all the time and they will want to handle it but they will not be able to if the snake is not happy.
I don't believe that your husband should have gotten a pet that he can not take care of. Don't get me wrong I am very proud of my country and very very grateful for those who serve this country. My father and Aunt were in the army a lot of the family friends were army. But if he will not be there to care for it then he should not have asked you to do something that you do not feel comfortable with.
Like I said I am sorry for you, your children, your husband, and your snake. This is fair to no one in this situation. You should not have to deal with the embarrassment (if that is the adequate description) of having to ask questions about some thing you only care about because it is an animal in your care.
Please do not take offense to anything said here. BPnet is THE BEST SOURCE I HAVE FOUND FOR INFORMATION. These people are not here to belittle you or make you feel bad.
I think it would be best from what I know of the situation to give the snake to some one who wants to care for it and will love it. that is what this is all about the love of the animals and if you are not in it for the love of it then cut your losses and count it as a lesson.
like I said I am not trying to offend please please take this advice to heart I am sure I am not the only one that feels like this.
and please tell you husband and your family thank you for serving this country. It is not only him making the sacrifice it is all of you and for that I am very grateful. :salute:
