[QUOTE=5snakes;1363734]nice snake. as far as the "hissy "part, handling is a good cure. be gentle and spend as much time as possible. hopefully your snake will become less hissy. the reason why is probably because it grew up in a pet store. over time and a little tlc, you`ll be fine.[/QUOTE

She didnt grow up there, but she was there for some time. The hissing really doesnt bother me much, I think its just a learned pattern for her. she hisses and people leave her alone cause they think shes gonna bite. Shes actually a total sweety, especially considering how uncomfortably she must be.


All the advice is appreciated.
Im alittle concerned putting her on so strict a diet since shes fighting off mites and God knows what else. Ive got her on a small rat a week/ten days untill shes done with the parasites then Ill reduce her feeding and concentrate more on getting that weight down.

Ill keep everyone updated
