Just trying to feed our pet

        We live in Sin City, were gambling and prostitutes are among the norm. Twenty Four hours a day, every day of the year this town is popping, it never closes it’s doors. A place where you can walk down the street with a drink in your hand, a place where it is easy to blend in among the crowds.
Sin City    
       I have a snake that we feed live rats and I spent about two days looking for food for my son’s pet. I never would have thought that it would be so hard, especially in this City. I called and walked into all the pet stores within 5 miles of my house and was blown away by the reactions I got. Some gave me dirty looks while others mumbled under their breathe how horrible I was.
       Finally my boyfriend found a Exotic pet store that sold live feeder rats. We drive all the way across town to purchase food for my Snake, which proved to be a waste of time. We get there and we are shocked to see not only how expensive they are, but also how small they are. Sin (our snake) is about 4 feet long and eats big rats like tic tac’s. We buy 2 because they are so small.
        We get home ready to feed our starving snake and she looks at us like “REALLY”. She eats 1 with no problems, but then refuses to gobble up the other one. We figure she is either really picky or the second rat was infected, either way we spent money on food that she wont eat. She has something in her belly so I don’t worry to much, but I need a breeder who specifically breeds feeder rats because she thinks that pet shop was a joke.
