Thanks everyone for replying, I just felt a little proud of myself, I am a giant animal lover and still love little mice and rats, would actually adopt some rats as pets, but they won't even consider it since I have my snake, I guess they also assume anyone with a snake is a heartless monster that tosses rat upon rat to their doom without even a side thought about it..... But it's all cool, I have my baby snakey and I have her healthy and eating, and that's all I could ask for for now.
