She probably didn't feed purely due to the shed, a lot won't.

The reason to leave a snake for 48 hrs (as said above) is so they don't regurge, can you imagine how uncomfortable it must be having a weeks food in your body at once, lol.

I only say this after having an arguement in a rep shop yesterday with a 14 yr old know it all. "Nah mine comes out for a cuddle within an hour of feeding, only regurged twice in 4 months......"

I think myself and the shop owner put him straight

ONLY...poor thing,like to see him bring up a meal as thick as his own body,then see how many times he wants to do it.

Some of the things that I hear people (not the staff) say in my local rep shop makes me cringe. You can almost hear the staff sigh in dispair sometimes.

An elderly couple returned a juvenile iguana to them the other day complaining that it was too manic/energetic/quick for them to cope with. No sh*t Sherlock!!! were the words that nearly emerged from my lips. Why don't these people ever read up in advance and ask questions before they make their purchase?!?!?!
