Went over to pay the guy I bought my newest rock from the last $20 I owed him and he gave me this 4' normal retic with some feeding problems and dehydration. He didn't have the time or energy to nurse it back to health so I figured I would give it a try. She's a cutie with some big orange eyes. I gave her a mouse tonight, it seemed a bit traumatic to her, she just lied still for a couple minutes with the mouse partly down her throat.   |

Ya, she snapped at me today, drew some blood. Oh well, guess she remembers me shoving that mouse down her throat.

Poor girl died. I let her roam the back yard thursday when I was having a smoke and the phone rang. I looked and she was just sitting in the middle of the grass not doing anything so I went inside. I came back out and she was climbing in a thorny bush! Well, needless to say she got all cut up. I rinsed her off with some antibac stuff and put neosporin on, but today I found her dead. The mouse in her stomach left a bruise looking mark on her belly too which I thought was strange, especially since she hasn't eaten in 2 weeks and it didn't seem digested. Oh well, I'll never take a free snake that has an eating problem again.
