Yeah, I'm not saying the girls story is fishy, but moreso the veterinarian who told her the snake was "sizing" her up. Her snake probably wasn't eating, but was ill and like I said just trying to find a place that offered the warmth it needed. Typically veterinarians don't know anything about reptiles, and rarely know how to help them, as 99.9% of the animals they deal with are the typical pets. So the vet probably told that girl the "sizing" up nonsense because he/she didn't have the 1st clue, though they should have at least known it was sick and was a cold blooded animal who needed that constant heat.
