We can totally share the name MsMissy!!!! LOL I agree with you too. There are pros and cons to the age thing. I love my baby to death and honestly he can be waaaaay more interesting. LOL Nagini is my lazy girl and Dude is my active guy! I do like being able to snuggle with Nagini. Crazy for a snake right!?!?! As far as the feeding thing goes. Make sure he/she has eaten a few times consistently and be sure to give he/she plenty of time to acclimate to his/her new home and things should go smoothly.
