First, I absolutely trust them. I just believe It was a miscommunication between the 2. my friend sold me the snake and wasn't there a week later when I went to buy food. The Guy who I bought the rat from wasn't there when I bought the snake.

My main question is since I am fairly new. Is assist feeding a normal thing and something most babies grow out of. I want to breed so its something I will need to know how to do. I just don't want to have bought a snake who will never eat on its own. They have aa nice female albino I like too but would rather have the pin.

PS when he put the rat Hopper in the mouth the snake topology it right down.
