Wow, ok I just read this thread. I can understand you not trusting what you were reading here online, as any idiot can post anything online, be it true or not. However, this is great community, with tons of very knowledgeable people, with the best advice you could ever want on bps and many other herps. Hopefully you can trust us. Maybe it will take you spending a bit of time here to realize that. I hope you are seperating your snakes, and getting them some Pam. As far as the mice, there are lots of place to get f/t online. Then you wouldn't have to worry about keeping them alive. As far as that terrible reptile store goes, I wouldn't come within a country mile of it ever again! Best of luck with your snakes
