I could do that but the electricity isnt a problem because I work at the local gas and electric co. and get 50% off. The food isnt a problem because I recently ran into a nice older lady that owns a reptile rescue and she stops by her regular feed place and pics up about 1000 mice/ratts at a time and she gave me the same price she gets which is 20 cents a pop for large mice/med rats. And well the vet is the same as it is with every snake. And if I could make payments for that long I would buy a new car. But 350 now then 350 in a month is more than doable. I put my first payment friday and she will be in the mail on may-24th
