I have my first bp. I have had him/her for about 3 weeks. I got it from pet smart.(I know never buy a snake from PS or at least thats what my cornsnake forum says but I love this one they take great care of there animals) I was holding Wolowitz(his/her name) and I was looking at the tail and there is umm im not sure how to explain this. something sticking out of the side. looks kind of like a claw or something from a mouse foot.(or thats what I think but im sure im waaay off.) if I touch it he gets a little jumpy other than that I dont think it bothers him. Eats great. I just fed him yesterday so it will be a day or two before I can post pics of it. and that will be hard because I can only use my ipod camera.
