After my best friend sat there and hugged me when my vet called to see joker died, her and her mom went to petco and got me a new snake! Also a female, her name is Mercedes. My best friend is the bees knees. Spent like $90 to make me feel better. Although, I am still very upset because it's just not the same as Joker. I was Sooo attached to her it was ridiculous. I am excited to start fresh with more experience under my belt with an actual healthy snake! But my friend didn't ask all the questions I was wanting to ask because it was a surprise purchase she came home to me with haha so we went back and talked to 3 different people. My biggest question was "what is her feed schedule?" Okay one said Thursday. One said Sunday. And one said Monday. I thought it was kinda weird that no one really had any idea what the exact day was. Well I talked to a different local reptile person and he said that petco gets the best and healthiest snakes shipped in, but they are always aggressive when sold because no one handles them and they have been known to skip their feeding so they are hungry when they're sold, which they can get in trouble for obviously. I got her today so my biggest question is how soon do i feed her? She strikes at everything that moves. But if you're still, she just cruises around your arm. If I don't know what day she was actually fed when should I feed her?? It's like she's hungry.
