I don't know what to do. My 21 year-old son has abandoned his two week old ball python. I am trying to keep it alive but, I am not really a snake person. The snake was bought from PetSmart on 08/05/2010 so I cannot return him been 15 days. The snake has not been eating here, though he says he took the snake to a private pet shop in another city and was able to feed him once since he has had it. The day he left, over a week ago, he threw two of the frozen fuzzies in the cage and has not been back since. I went back to PetSmart and bought a UTH, some water conditioner and a cage cleaning spray and some new substrate same as before cedar chips. I removed the snake and the rotting rodents, cleared out most of the substrate, attached the UTH and cleaned the take. I put fresh water in the bowl with water conditioner and stopped using the overhead flourescent lights because I read that the snakes are nocturnal. The snake seemed happy was moving around the fresh tank, dipping into the water bowl but... it still would not eat the fuzzy I tried to feed it off of tongs. I am really afraid to handle the snake but braved it to clean the tank because I don't want to see it die. I took it out once to try to get uses to handling it and it seem to strike at me so I put it back in the tank. In the tank when I put my face to it it struck at me twice. So I figured it was at least active. Today I look in the tank and its eyes are blue or grey. It is curled in the corner above the UTH but I don't know if it is dying. I changed the water and put the water conditioner in but I am afraid it is going to die. My son has not followed up with the registration process or anything. I am trying to find out where to take the snake so that it will be taken care of the way it should be, including being interacted with. does anyone have any suggestions? I will surrender tank and all. I don't want it to die. I live in NJ.
