Ya she's been a vegetarian her entire life so the feeding part is a little touchy but I would never expect her to feed it or watch me feed it. Like you guys said her main concern is it escaping which is a easy fix. And she claims they are "Slithery" which I think is the best part! Maybe I will make the 6 hour drive to a reptile show this summer to let her hold and interact with one. I'm sure they are a whole lot cheaper there also! Looks like a lot more waiting...
