    Rescued 3 year old ball, 224 grams

    Here is another rescue. His name is Ice. (vanilla ice, fiancé named him for how bright his white is, he's a white boy lol) he was a rescue from a home who "couldn't feed him live mice anymore" but he came to us on monday and I offered food on Tuesday. A small weanling mouse. He took it, but unfortunately regurged it today. Weighed him at 224 grams and he is at least 3 years old. That's the minimum known age. He looks horrible but is doing well in his qt tub. Anyway here's some pics.



    He has good tongue action and does not act all sick. So well see what happens to this little man.

    Wow. That is small. My 6 month old Mojave is 500+ grams.
    I'm glad he's in better care now.
    I hope he starts eating and growing normally now.

    And remember, after a regurge, no feeding for another 2 weeks.

    Poor thing. I just got a rescue myself. Over a year old and about 250 grams. Maybe.

    Skinny as a toothpick. Deep in blue, so QT, high humidity and quiet until he sheds, then here's hoping he eats for me.

    I don't think you should have put him in the rack with your others snakes - you should be qting that snake for a good long time to ensure his health.

    I hope things work out for you.
