New BP.. How soon should i feed her?

[Slim]

^This right here. Also, I'd find out if your PetCo's BPs are captive bred. Most are wild caught. If it's wild caught...good luck with it. Wild BPs are often full parasites, sickly, and don't adapt well in captivity. I would never buy an exotic from PetCo for this reason.

Actually, most PETCO and PetSmart ball pythons are captive hatched. That means the eggs were collected in the wild, but then taken to large incubation facilities and hatched. Then they are exported to the pet trade. Some stores will purchase locally captive breed animals, but corporate sets the policy and imports the snakes. The stores just follow the corporate lead.

Alrighty then. That's the last time I'll ever ask a question on this forum again! Jeez guys

That would be a shame. No one was trying to rub you the wrong way, and you did get a touch defensive. I understand this is tough time for you, but telling people what you don't need to hear on a public forum is unrealistic and a bit out of line.

That is exactly why I asked for help. But then I got blown up on. Soooo I'm about done with this forum because just because someone owned a snake longer doesn't make everyone else a "noob".. Thats where I was offended. I just asked a simple question and explained the situation and said all I needed to know was about the feeding after I said 3 times I sanitized everything. Then Terry tough tits and his friends had to join in. Real cool. Done with this forum I will just ask other people cuz this is about as dumb as it gets.

I didn't see you getting blown up on. I saw you getting a lot of advice that was repetitive. Not the same thing.

I never called you a noob. I said you question was newbie like. I understand your situation with a snake that may not have been fed well at the local pet superstore. My advice is still the same. Let it settle for 5 days. It's not going to hurt the snake, and will very likely help the first feeding be successful.

Sorry you feel the need to leave. That would be unfortunate.

... Except for what Slim had to say.
1. Maybe if he would have read my whole thing about skipping feeding my question would not have sounded "newbie"
2. I honestly did not mean to be ruse with me saying "not to be rude" but slim had to make a sly "not to be rude back"
3. Okay. So since its not burger king where everything goes your way, alright slim. Since I'm not going to tell you what you want to hear, before you try to make someone else sound like an idiot, check your grammar and spelling. It's "control" not "controll".
Burger king. HA! There's some Mickey dees for ya.

1. I did read and understand your question. You are the one assuming I didn't. My advice is still the same. Again, I didn't call you a newbie. I said your question was newbie like. There is a difference.
2. If it's good for the goose, it's good for the gander, and I wasn't trying to be rude either. In fact, I said, "not the be rude back". Works both directions.
3. Thank you for the correction. I'm not a human spell checker, and I do make mistakes, but before you travel too far down that path, you should really go back and read some of your own posts on this thread
