I only have 7 babies in my baby rack now and some are eating live mice, F/T mice, live rats, and even F/T rats! AND THAT'S JUST 7 BABIES! Your baby could be eating anything.

    Don't do business with anyone who can't even answer simple questions or be able to tell you when the baby is hatched, when it's last meal was and what it ate, and who it's parents are.
    He seemed pretty sure when he said she was eating prekilled rat pups, but I guess it's unlikely he just knew that snake off the top of his head since he had other pastel babies/juvies with him... He could have just as well been lying :/ Now I'm really nervous to see if she'll eat this coming weekend... I guess I'd better pick up some mice in case she doesn't take rats.

    I'll definitely be pickier the next time I go to an expo, whether it's for a snake or a lizard, because I know this won't be the last time. I just hope this time works out okay, because she's a really sweet snake.

    @bumblee1028: Thank you! I hope so too, haha.
