See that is part of the issue. She was always on frozen and I swore I could never feed live. Then a few months ago that changed, she now absolutely will not touch frozen (she jerks away like a dead rat is repulsive). I broke down and started feeding live which is not only unpleasant but there is only 1 store that sells rats about 30 minutes away (when they have them), so it is make the drive every week or start keeping feeder rats here which I am doing but gosh darn they are so cute it is sad (I no longer live in Atlanta, old profile info, I live in a small town in middle GA).Originally Posted by coldblooded
Plus during her feeding issues I stopped handling her to reduce any stress. I can see how the breeders enjoy them, and the single college student types that want a quiet pet without a lot of upkeep. Maybe some think "display" snake sounds bad, I would just enjoy the beauty of seeing my snake instead of just seeing a little head pop out when hungry, then disappear for another week once she is fed.
I am thinking I will rehome her but I want her to have a stable long term home and not end up as a play toy to adolescent males down the road.
