Guinea pigs were a last resort for bp’s, but is rehome if I had to, thawing rats/live rats will send me to the er quick, don’t want snakes to suffer because of that. I did get my largest ball to eat a quail last night first try, but he’s a porker and eats everything lol.
Snake hasn’t been soaking that was a picture from the guy I got it from. He’s in a quarantine room to check for mites but kept the substrate he was using I not stress the snake out. Worst part of this is going I be willingly keeping lights only for heat for a bit until he settles in, but have the heatmat and thermostat ready. Might wait a week to feed him but he’s ready to eat, first meal here will be the quail.
