    She's a pretty little noodle! I really like Cal-kings. You get a live pinky from pet stores near you...best call ahead to see if they have any...I assumed you knew that.

    Re "2 days"...she didn't actually eat anything, right? And it's been HOW long since they said she ate? It's really best if she keeps her energy up- she needs food to do that.

    At some point, if an animal (or a human in hospital, for example) goes too long without food, they lose their appetite & won't want to eat...it becomes a "downward spiral"-that's why humans in hospital have an IV started...for basic nourishment. (also to administer medications) But no IV is possible for a snake...so she needs to eat. OK?

    Night-time is a more natural time for most snakes to eat & it offers more privacy too, which I assume should help her to feel safe & not distracted while eating.

    Cannot tell from pics if she's underweight...not close enough & very difficult to tell from photos anyway...snakes often inhale & look better off than they really are. She does appear healthy from what I can see- from the vigorous way she's climbing...
