Ive been keeping up on Graces story..Its so wonderful to see that what looked like doom for an animal has ended with a wonderful life ahead.. Maybe some would have given up. but the compassion and determination to give her the chance at life is just so awesome . If only more people in this world would feel just a small portion of what we (animal people ) feel .The horrid abuse and neglect of animals would be diminished. The first snake I aquired was from a local pet shop. Its a corn snake but he was in a little cricket container..sand to lay on..no hide..and an empty water dish. the guy said he hatched oct-nov 05 this was march 06. Anyone could see the little guy needed help. after a month I weighed him in at 16 grams. now 15 months later hes up over 400 grams. They joy to see an animal flourish is wonderful.. Keep up the good work and PLEASE keep us updated on Grace.. I think alot of people here will become her ""Proud Aunts and Uncles" to see her first clutch hatch.
