Is that black light we have to keep on all the time supposed to get really hot??? I've plugged in the heating pad. The owner said he never knew whether the snake was a boy or girl. I've decided to call him/her "Sweetie."
I took her out of the tank a few minutes but with my 4 kids and husband all up in my face (and my 2 year old squealing) they were making me a nervous wreck. Sweetie seems very curious and kept licking the light on the webcam. She eats about once a week and it's almost time for a feeding, so I will go to Pet Smart tomorrow and get a mouse.

I was told to not feed her in her tank, to put her in another container to eat.

Wish me luck. I hope my electric bill won't go through the roof...
