OK lately I have been feeling bad. I've always wanted a snake but never new much about them. The reason I never got one was because of the whole feeding issue. I thought about it for a long time and decided to look into getting a snake regardless and would make myself feed live if I had to. I read some info ( apparently not the right info until I came here) Perhaps I chose the wrong snake to begin with. Now I understand that BP's are picky eaters and fussy and maybe not the snake a newbie should start wth. I havent been handling him much because I didn't want to stress him out, but it seems everything stresses this poor guy out. I didn't do the correct set up which I am now learning about and I am sure this plays into why he has not eaten for me since I have gotten him. I have been seriously considering giving him up to someone more educated and who knows how to properly care for him as much as I love him and don't want to. Infact I really don't want to but I feel as though I am not doing a good enough job. I do small exotic rescue but not reptile exotics, and I would be the first person to tell someone to give up the pet to someone more knowledgeable so it can recieve proper care and environment. I never thought I would be saying it to myself though. I'd still really like a snake and hopefully I will still be able to purchase the baby I am interested when/if it comes along.(The luecy rat snake) I was told they are much easier to handle, feed and I will get to know it better from a baby.
I'd really appreciate some opinions and advice here. I don't want to be greedy and keep him but I do love him and don't exactly want to let him go. If its whats best to do though I will.
