Angel (female)is a baby at 22" in a 30gal shared with Little D



And Little D (male)is 23"


Then we have Misti (male) who is a little over 3’ in a 30gal for now;



And last but not least Little Bit



This was taken after she had eaten 2 fuzzies. I did NOT handle her at all after she ate and I still have not handled her. YET!

little bit looks nice and plump in that picture! I thought you had 6 BPs? They are so pretty!!!!!!I have a similar hide like that for Mosi, here is mosis "tree"!



They are very similar Mosi’s has a big hole on one side, a smaller hole on the opposite side, and a little hole that is at a diagnal angle...(as you can see in the picture: the big hole and the diagnol one)

wait at least 48 hours after feeding to handle, also 2 fuzzies is a snack. How wide is she? feed a prey item that is the width of your snake.

also which one of your BP’s wasn’t eating?

All my snakes are now eating. thank you for asking though.
Little bit was the one that I was so concerned about! It seems that Litlle Bit does not like to eat out of her tank - i called the store where i purchased her and they did admit that they fed her in her "tank". That they were also feeding her hoppers "live" she would not eat pre kill yet! In time I’ll get her to eat pre kill.

when did she eat? if it was yesterday or before that then yess you can hold her tomorrow. Tomorrow morning even. That would be fine. I private messaged you back. I have a really sad story to tell. I was out with my mom and we passed a petco. So we decided to go in it. They had 4 RTBs (ranging from little bits size to mosis size) in a 20gal. tank. Each one of them was soaking. They had no hides. No heat (if they did it only heated the cage to like 80) I was wondering why they were all soaking seeing as Mosi rarely soaks and every single one was soaking. I glance up and see another 20long. This one with 7 BP’s ranging from Cupids size to about 27inch. 4 were soaking in the same water dish. they too had no hides or heat. 2 were hunting. the last one was on his death bed, he died while we were looking at them. As I was staring at the soon to be dead BP I noticed little bugs all over him. They were all infested with mites (that explains the soaking). I looked to the right to find a 10gal. with 3 Central american 20inch Boas. 2 were soaking in the cramped water dish. 1 was hanging from the ceiling in a notch of somesort. they too had no hides or heat. We got disgusted so we went and looks at the birds. they had nothing but the cage and a stick. nothing to cover the bottom of the cage. No water or food. Just a stick. It was truly horrible. That we got so disgusted that we left before we talked to the maanager. Does anyone know how to report a petshop? I truly think "Petco, where the pets DIE!" should be closed forever. If you have any imput please tell me. P.S sweetness: I thought you had 6 BP’s?

No, I am at my grandmas (she doesn’t live in the best part of town, but the town the petco was in was pretty good) Do you know how to report a petstore?

Get a Camera ( a nice NON digital camera)
go back to that petco
Take pictures of the abuse (try to get pictures of abuse of birds and small mammals to [judges are partial to mammals])
Get the Pictures develope (KEEP ALL negatives, the roll of film [if possible], and the package they came in)
Get a little recorder (or something that records conversations)
Go BACK to that petco (bring your camera for more pictures) and bring the pictures that you took and the conversation recorder
Speak to the manager of the petco, make sure it IS NOT in an office, yet in the main part of the building, make sure it is a location where people can hear you
Tell him/her that you will contact the police, local health department, the petco district supervisor, and the ASPCA if the store does not come to shape within a week.
Come back in 5 days and if they are still abusing animals.
Contact the petco district supervisor, the police, local health department, and the ASPCA give them a detailed letter. Copies (keep the originals) of the photos (copies from the NEGATIVES, not photo copies [remember keep the negatives]) and a copy of the conversation you recorded (if it can incriminate that petco more).

Make sure that when you record the conversation it is in an area where one CANNOT expect privacy. If it is an office or an employees only room, MAKE SURE you talk to the manager in the main retail area (try to talk where people can hear you). Also, DO NOT make it sound like you are blackmailing them. Tell them you want another good petstore but will have to report them if they do not get their act together. If you record the conversation in a private room destroy the tape that you recorded, because it is ILLEGAL to do record a conversation without ones consent in a room/area where they can expect privacy.

if it is digital the petco people will say you edited the pictures. It also really helps if you get something to reference it to that specific pet-co. Dates also help.
