Sudden Death - a clean slate.

Thank you all for your advice. I did NOT get another snake from the same shop but found a local breeder who had a gorgeous Royal with a full record card stating feeds (dates and temps of food ect. ) Having seen this snake ( big,strong, balls up and has a very inquisitive tongue . All lacking in my other Royal ) I realise that the other snake must have been very sick as was noted by so many of you. This has been a very steep learning curve for me, I hope you like the Pics of my new girl.

Thanks again.

Lookin' good! Congrats on getting a very healthy looking, pretty girl!

Just curious - Have you talked to the people you bought the last one from? Just kind of wondering if they would be willing to do anything based on the fact that the previous snake was almost certainly sick when you bought it?

Yes I did speak to them. Unfortunately they did not care really, they did offer to take £20 off the price of another one from them. No chance in hell that was going to happen. So an expensive learning curve as well. Thanks for the comments, i agree whole heartedly .
