I'm glad the petco you went to was so helpful. Mine is just trash unfortunately. I thought it was really strange that they wouldn't give them to me. They said that because the Petco logo was on the piece of paper, they couldn't let me have it. I thought that was nonsense and asked if I could take a photo for my own purposes. They also refused. I was only able to look at it while she was standing there with me and she got really impatient with me for taking so long. They gave me nothing but terrible advice and clearly their pet care manager knew absolutely nothing about taking care of snakes. I reported her to that Petco and to the regional hq about our situation and Pythia's condition when I got her. They never replied (I didn't really expect them to).
The only thing that matters is that Pythia is getting healthier and healthier by the day. She's been eating once a week like clock work since we tried live. She did get scratched by the hopper last week though. Just a little cut on her back. I'm keeping it clean and it looks as though it has scabbed over now. She's getting better at getting good holds on the hoppers. I think last week was just a fluke.
I weighed her for the first time since the vet visit a couple weeks ago. She weighs 100g! I know that's still way underweight but it just makes me happy that we're on the right track!
And I will try to post a photo as soon as I can! (At work right now)
