Hi, there is an idea i didn't think of thanks the suggestion. I will call the manager there and see if he would take it back. I am not so concerned with the investment as I am that it does not die. I am willing to part with it all if i know it will be taken care of. I am so angry with my son for doing that to this snake and the only thing that I take care of well is my aquarium. (well, I at least have some idea what I'm doing there.)![]()
