Dsirkle, yes, I hope that this is one time I don't have to be leary of Craig's List. She said that she had 11 snakes and was "down-sizing" b/c they are moving in a few months. Regardless though of anything she says or claims, my impression is that anyone who keeps their snakes in tubs probably knows their stuff. I'm actually hoping that this will help us make the transition to tubs, too.
Dalvers63, your post cracked me up. I am glad you are still working with yours. I plan to do the same. More addictive than BP's? We're in trouble!
I explained how I'll have to work with the snake to my 6 year old today, and he asked, "What if it keeps biting you?" I said, "I'll just keep trying." I talked about how some people give up on their pets, but I hope to be someone who never does. And I told him how I hope to see "what I am made of." Our BP and KSB are easy to be good snake keepers with. But the JCP will show us what kind of snake keepers we really are.
I am very excited! I have a positive attitiude about it and am willing to keep at it even if the snake doesn't have a positive attitude!
Anyone have any links to their favorite care sheet for JCP's? I found one or two but they were somewhat sparse. And tell me more JCP stories so I can have my fix before I get him/her!
I forgot to ask. If it was eating two live adult mice a week, should I do that once he/she settles in? Or should I try to switch to F/T right away - what about trying a rat pup? What kind of eaters are they?
