    Tough situation

    I'll make this as short as I can.

    A couple weeks ago I was at my ex wife's house hanging out with my boys and waiting for my girlfriend to get done working.

    Well I went to pull our first ever BP, Fred out of his tank, first thing I noticed was that he struck at me twice, Fred never ever struck at anyone, he was the snake that got brought in for show and tell and all the kids got to touch him. Her response...."he's just being a typical python"

    ..... GRRRRRRR she KNOWS BETTER THAN TO FEED ME THIS CRAP

    Second thing was that he was/is emaciated, you can see his backbone forming a ridge down all of his 4' body. He was rather plump a couple years ago....
    She "keeps forgetting to ask me to pick him up food when I'm at the show"

    His heat pad was unplugged, she even said "he doesn't have one" which he obviously did because I plugged it in. I asked because he was cold.

    Well, we went to the pet store and I paid retail for rats, (I hate paying retail for reptile supplies). I told her if she didn't get him looking better
    I was going to take her damn snake home with me and keep him.

    Now then, I left her with a couple rats, my question is how long would you give her to fix him before taking possession of him? Or would you simply provide the food and deduct it off of child support? Or just buy her the stupid rats so your snake gets fed?

    I am not opposed to taking the snake at all... no issues.....none.

    She might sell him to me I don't know, I haven't tried that yet, but I think I will try that first... Though I hate paying for something I have already paid for.

    I am floored she is being so stupid and lazy, it makes sense though, that is a big reason she is my EX wife
