A tragic story in two parts

[cant-beelieve-it]

This past November I bought a ball python from Petco. I know, it’s terrible and it only perpetuates the real issue, I get it. But this thin lil noodle stared back at me from her enclosure with the softest blue eyes and I couldn’t say no.

They told me that she hadn’t eaten in a few weeks and that they were feeding her hoppers when she would eat. Which, even as thin and small as this snake was she was way past the size of eating hoppers. And feeding mice to ball pythons isn’t a good idea anyway, but that’s another discussion entirely. It has taken me a vet visit, multiple trips to my local reptile store for f/t r*ts, one trip there for a live fuzzy (when I ran out of options and she was going on two and a half months without a meal and getting thinner), and every trick in the book, but finally she’s eating f/t r*ats consistently and she looks so much better than she did when I first got her. Look at this chonky babe :3
