It realkly wasn't until recently that I realized how poorly I was taking ccare of them. My hours at work limited how much time I could dedicate to a proper thorough tank cleaning. A process that took hours.
And my mother's stranglehold on the snake's feeding, by constanty putting his feeding box where I couldn't get it, fighting me when I wanted it and telling me I could not feed him after I had a mouse thawing 12 hours- which wasted a mouse, every time. He simply wasn't being fed enough.
Driving to the store to get crickets for Kip was another struggle.
They deserve to be somewhere without these limitations. That's really all there is to it.
