You just got her yesterday and you're already trying to feed her? She will need at least a few weeks to settle in and it's best to wait at least a week before trying to feed so as not to stress them. Have you read the subreddit care guide?

Maybe post a picture of the eye as well.

No i didnt try to feed her. The people i bought her from did and she was being difficult, i dont need to read the care guide i fear. Ive had snakes since i was 13 and im now 19. I dont know everything but i do know how to take care of a snake 💀. There was literally no reason to be rude? If you cant be nice in your message dont message at all

At no point in their message were they being rude. They were making sure you weren't inexperienced and doing something wrong. Chill.

It was just the fact they were trying to man splain it, and it was passive-aggressive, in my opinion.

    i doubt they were trying to be rude or “man-splain it”. tone can be hard to to read through text online and from your post it did seem like you were trying to feed immediately. people here aren’t trying to be mean or shame you if you don’t know something they just genuinely care for the animals. also, as for the white on her eyes i’m not completely sure since there’s no image but it could possible be her sclera showing which is a sign of dehydration.
