This morning my little snake was fine and happy. It acted just as it did the day I brought it home, and has been acting perfectly fine. There wasn't a hint of a sign that I would notice to indicate anything was wrong.

Good to know. I'll see what they say at the store. I'll be watching the other one like a hawk, just in case. Thanks for the warning.

That sucks, I'm sorry.

You shouldn't be able to kill a corn snake in 3 days in any way that isn't very obvious. Maybe lack of water.

I know Petco would replace such a pet after 3 days (more, I'm sure) if you bring in the receipt and the body.

Do not to go a pet shop for advice. Read the internet. Find a forum or something and talk to people about it. Hell, don't even get pets from pet shops if you can avoid it. I would never buy a pet from a Petco or a PetSmart.

I lost a snake. His name was Walter. I think it was due to insufficient ventilation. People commonly talk about how snake cages are over-ventilated and insufficiently humid, and I over-corrected. It still hurts, a lot.
