Did you think the Pet Store was equipped to sell reptiles? Did they give you Care Sheets or offer advice?
they didnt have any care sheets that i know of but i dont think they're too bad a store to buy from. HOWEVER, she is a bit constipated which seems to be resolving with a proper heat source, and she had a lump in her tummy which i originally thought was a food lump, but she ate 7 days before... . its already a lot smaller just after 2 days, but we just took her to the vet to check it out and he's a little concerned. we're going to feed her tonight and see what happens but we will be letting them know tomorrow that she's been checked out and that there could be a problem .

one interesting thing he also mentioned, when he saw that she was hypo he almost recoiled in horror lol. apparently he has seen a LOT of problems in hypo snakes...mainly skin related...which has ended up being their downfalls . i've never heard anything like this before, but then again i havent done a lot of research on hypomelanistic snakes. has anyone else heard of anything like this?
