Thank you. I don't want to touch it anymore and let it explore the new surroundings. I'll try Wednesday as I have no deadline to get the snake back into the store. They said to work with it on feeding for a little while. I have a feeling I am just going to get too attached to it and it will stay if it eats for me. I definitely saw a lot of suggestions and I am willing to try everything I can to save it. If it dies I know I tried what I can.

I know it's definitely a risk to take in a "stray" snake as I understand the importance of quarantine. If I can move it out of my room I will do that but for now it has to be in here. I don't want to compromise the health of my new baby at all but I couldn't leave it at the store. Nobody was paying attention to it as most of our snakes at the store are juvies or adults. We only have this one baby left.

I'll keep you posted.
