Wow psychoduck, you must be really patient. I'm going to wait until the weekend when my mom has to a funeral for three days. I can get my dad to bring me to the pet store for more crickets, then pursuade him to get me the male ball python that's been there for a few months. I've held the snake and chatted with his caretaker who says he got sexed at a vet and that he eats f/t mice. She also said that he is very friendly which I saw for myself. Alternatively I can order a snake from the Internet.
