The problem I have with PetSmart selling snakes, is their policy against feeding live. This coming from an employee of PS. I got my snake from there, and doubt it had eaten before because it definitely didn't eat at the store. I tried and tried f/t then gave up and tried live and he took is voracious and eats every 5 days like clockwork. I mean, when I got this snake, I'm not sure how old he was but he weighed 49g! And he had been at the store 3 weeks. I've had him approximately a couple of months now, and he weighed 150g at last check.

I just think having a hard & fast rule is detrimental to the health of animals like my guy who will only eat live.
