Thanks! She is a normal het blood. I love the salmon on her sides and bellly, and her tail, and her eyes and her little mustache...lol ok i pretty much love everything about her!
Snakes are the easiest type imo. They eat once a week when young and only twice a month when older, a frozen/thawed rodent. They poop like once or twice a month max. Their substrate needs a full change only like twice a year. And they don't care if you never handle them, but will happily...
