We adopted a Dumeril's from our local Petco, someone dropped her off, ours is also a year old and tiny! Petco had her for 8 months and couldn't get her to eat, so they force fed her mice three times, so now she is horrified of mice. I got into a fight with the lady because I said we would try rats and she jumped down my throat saying I would kill the snake because rats are too big, I was like..umm..not baby rats, and she almost didn't let me leave with the snake!! The first rap pup we put in there she gobbled right up, even ate f/t the first try! And has had about 4 great meals! They grow suppppeerrr fast to catch up when eating a normal amount. She gets a small rat every 1-1 1/2 weeks and has shed like 4 times in the past couple months.
This Dumerils is also incredibly nice! And they are soooo pretty!!
