Redneck reptile wrangler
So, I sort of adopted/traded for this retic tonight and I'm hoping it's a dwarf just because the alternative scares me.(in that to be this little, some gross under feeding must have occurred. The people I got it from paid a normal retic price for it and tell me it was eating a couple mice a week, then didn't eat for two or three months, then started up again.
The snake was purchased from a dealer at an expo about 1 1/2 years ago by their account, and the dealer is someone I respect and that has a good rep localy.(although they live in CA and come down for expos here)
This snake is tiny, as you will see in the picture. Basically I am asking what I can do to take care of this animal. Any pointers on undoing whatever stunted it's growth is greatly appreciated. I am 99% sure it's not a dwarf, unless by some stroke of luck, it's WC and the dealer did not know it's origin.
I have read other posts here of people telling sellers that their snake is not a dwarf and I'm hoping that they might see this and be able to shoot me straight.
Thank you.
