Well, I'm home for Spring Break. Auryn's with me--and so far, so good. I don't have the internet at my house, so I'm writing from my parents' restaurant. Anyway, Saturday I went to PetCo to return the ExoTerra small rock hides(they were too small!) and get some medium sized ones. When I brought them to the register, the woman there asked if they were for geckos.

I told her that I had a Ball Python and she said: "Oh! I clean their cages and their water...have been for years. I've never fed them, though!" (so I'm assuming that she gets someone else to do that.

Then she tells me that her daughter got a BP from PetCo about 7 years ago...and that all she fed it was goldfish. Yes, goldfish. Right out of a cup of water. The woman said it was the only thing her daughter's BP would eat. I was aghast...she then said that it lived for a few years, but was dead now. I didn't know what to say. I didn't really feel like giving a lecture on the proper care of Ball Pythons, especially considering her daughter's BP was already dead...but good grief. I seriously hope she doesn't suggest to people whose BPs aren't feeding to try goldfish!

That's all for now! Back to work
