Hi everyone again,
Sorry I didn't reply for a bit. I had to go pick up the snake and boy is she small!
The information I got so far: Her mom was WC and she was already pregnant and the babies were captive hatched.
She seems awful small but I don't have a colubrid so I don't know how big she should be. He is emailing a file of information (feedings ect.) and gave me a free bag of pinkies to go along with her. Well she, her UTH and the tank was free too so it was nice.
Wow is she fiesty and scared! He had her in a pretty cold room around 65-70F and when I brought her to my house she sprung to life. Pissed as hell though. She struck at everything like 3 times but it's not a big deal.
The pinkies he gave me are the same width as her body. Not to mention she's in shed right now... Just like my ball python... I didn't get her weight yet so we'll see.
Also her skin is pretty dry. I misted the cage once. She hated it. I think I'll mist it again to bump up the humidity. She has a water bowl big enough to soak in. Room temp is at 72 now and I have a heat lamp to warm up the rest of the tank. The hot spot is at around 87F. It's too warm I know, but she's been in the cold for a while and I want to get her warmed up a bit and get her body going. He says he's been feeding 3 pinks. By her size should I stick with 3 pinks every 5-7 days?
Anyways I think I will leave her alone for a week. I think the guy said she hasn't eaten in 3 weeks. I'm not sure. I'm a little sick and I was too busy thinking about not coughing in front of his kids!
Oh where are my manners. Here's a picture I took. I only took one because she was really stressed out (you can see that in the picture). I had to use a tong to get that dollar bill in there!
