    Re: Help with rescued snake!!

    Thanks for your support everyone!

    Yeah, brc, I had the same thoughts as you. Dealing with the shed is secondary to getting some meat on her bones. I think I will attempt to help her shed on Saturday and feed her again on Sunday or Monday. Does anyone think that Sunday would be too soon to feed her again? It would be 4 days later. Yes, she's eating f/t. But...the feeders that came with her are pinkies, which are CLEARLY too small for her.

    It just infuriates me that PetSmart would sell those to my daughter's friend when she probably should have been on AT LEAST fuzzies from the day she was born. So not only did PS not ensure she was eating regularly, they were underfeeding her when they did! I did stop in there last night to get a heat pad, hydrometer and thermometer and I noticed the few BPs they had were housed individually, so THAT'S good (not sure if my daughter's friend got her at this particular store).

    Thanks for the advice on the NutriBAC. I will look into it. She also came with a water additive that I made sure got into her water.
