Grrr.
I like to joke that I have the worlds most expensive normal ball python. Years ago when I got my first ball python, I paid $20 dollars for her at a local show but that first winter I had her she went off feed. After one and a half months I panicked and brought it to a local reptile vet who talked me into running a series of tests...$600.00 later, the results..... perfectly healthy snake who just went off feed for the winter! lol learned my lesson the hard way. Needless to say I now have and treat her like she is one of my exotic morphs! lol
