My snake is scared of the mouse!

Theoretically the orphan. In this case however, there's no competition though :) I think I'd still have a hard time choosing...I mean, it's a poor snake.....

the temps are good, i think
i have the heat lamp on the left side, and the thermometer on the right side reads around 76

also, i feel like the tank is too small. its a 5 and a half gallon tank, but the guy said it would be ok.
also, my snake moves around fine and seems normal in his activity.
i feed him live pinkies, too. it is just easier, kind of.
also, how much does a vet for a baby snake cost. like, i'd feel like it wouldnt be worth it, considering that i got my snake for a decent price.

Are you in New York City? Herp Vet Connection lists two recommended places in New York City, of which I have been to one, the Animal Medical Center. I haven't taken a snake there, but I can tell you, if you get an appointment, it is something like $90 just to get in the door, whether it's a gerbil, cat, dog, or snake. Actual services will be on top of that. If you go in for emergency, the initial charge is over $100.

Whatever you do, avoid the ASPCA on 91st St. They were largely responsible for the death of our cat, and I have no more faith in them for any other creature. AMC is top notch in my experience, though.

Re: the essay question. Someone is sure to help the orphan - you should help the snake. :)

That's horrible that the ASPCA is responsible for your cat dying... They're supposed to help animals, not kill them. :/

I agree with you on the essay question. I was going to type that up but you'd already posted. :)
