My mistake...I'm sorry. I don't think that you said anywhere you would be taking it back to the *vet* at Petsmart. When you said you would be taking it back, I didn't see what else you could mean other than returning it.

It is stupid that you should have to shell out more money on an animal that should have been healthy, but the animals from the large chain pet stores aren't known to be healthy.

But yes, I would take it to the vet at Petsmart. Unfortunately, they may not know much about reptiles, so you may still end up having to go somewhere else. But it can't hurt to start there.

I wasn't trying to write you off as someone that couldn't or wouldn't take care of a pet, but from what I had read and understood, you got a snake you thought was sick and didn't know what else to do to fix it, so you were going to take it back. I do want your little guy to start eating, and thank you for clarifying what you meant, instead of getting upset. ^_^
