    Follow that guide and you should be good. If the little one still doesn't eat for any reason, remember you have that 14 days. Please bring it back if it won't eat on day 13.


    But Uggg.... I'm so frustrated that this store isn't doing anything right for you.
    They should not have sold that snake to you, or the one before that. It's absolutely nothing that you have done. They are just not following the proper care for the animals there. I'd be tempted to contact the district manager or corporate office and make a complaint if I was in your shoes. Though they did give you a copy of the feeding chart so that's at least a plus. 9_9
    Petsmart is supposed to move a snake that hasn't eaten for 14 days from the floor into an isolation room where it is left alone for the week. This means no opening of the cage, just eyeballing if the snake is well and topping off water. If it still won't eat, a vet visit should have happened.
    Thanks! I'll be sure to read through the guide that Deborah has provided. The BP looks very healthy and is acting normally (no head twists or symptoms of neurological damage). I will make sure to leave it alone for a week.
