May I remind some of you that comments like "don't buy a snake" and "grow a pair" are VERY unproductive to this thread. This member is asking for help to face an issue she's having, not to be scolded and spoken down to. I think she is trying to deal with something she didn't expect to have to deal and yes, though she likely should have known, she didn't. That's the situation at present.

We are here, as a community, to help newcomers so let's do what we do best please. Remember also, when we help someone we help their snake.
