The garter that my niece caught is wild.. never been in a store.... I am so proud of her, she like snakes just like her aunty... now for the ball python..he/she has been eating really good since I got him/her last week. It keeps wanting to eat and since it is a baby I am letting it. I am not sure or how well petco fed my baby ball so I have just let it eat as it wants for the moment...
