Mistakes we've all made...

[evan385]

I had a very similar experience. The place where I purchase my rats has bunches of BPs in one tank, most with stuck on shed- in a glass tank with no hides and one heating lamp over the tank. I looked for a thermometer and hygrometer last time I was there and I didn't see one at all... How can you trust people like that? and they really seem to be almost deliberately un-helpful. (I mean, I don't think you can be that unhelpful without trying at it...)
But they do have a giant selection of all kinds of rats and mice of all sizes... they just can't tell me what I should be feeding my Jackson for some reason. I am so glad I found this site, it has been really great!

Wow really? Critter Barn isn't that bad, they have each snake in their own tank and have the right husbandry and for the most part their snakes seem to be very healthy. Actually he saved my first snake's life when I got her (she had mouth rot, pneumonia, she was dehydrated and had multiple bite wounds. I think it's just the little things that they're stupid at mostly feeding and not weighing but they like to slow grow their snakes.
