Tears of joy finally!

So to any of you that have seen my threads about Loki the most finicky Ball Python ever, I finally got her to eat a pinky rat the other night!! I could've cried, I was so happy. granted, for her size she needs to be eating a lot larger prey but right now I will take any victory! My hope is to feed her pinkies a few more times to make sure she's eating, then slowly move back up to appropriate prey size. Hopefully it won't take too long. I'm just so glad she has SOMETHING in her tummy. I tried to give her a second one but she nosed it and tongue-flicked it but didn't take it. Still, gonna try and give her another one tonight or tomorrow night, and see what happens.

Congratulations, always a relief when they get back on feed!

but how is the situation with the parents and your pets? (the strike feeling is a tough one, so congrats)

Still getting mixed signals on whether or not I'm even allowed to move back in. My dad called me the other day saying my mom wanted me registered for classes before I moved back in, yet today he texted me saying I should call them and update them on my moving situation. Which sounds to me like he's asking if I've found a new place to live.

I'm gonna get to the bottom of it by the end of the week. If they don't want me to move back then that means I only have a month and a half to find a new place, so I need to get crackin' on that if that's the case.

And yes, getting her to eat anything has been the challenge of the summer. I'm glad it looks like the strike's ending, but I'd say we're hardly out of the woods yet.
