I adore all of my snakes, but this guy has a special place in my heart. I rescued him back in January. The poor guy had MBD and a crazy number of coccidia and pinworms. He had mornings when he wouldn't move. :( Now, after nine months, more vet bills than I care to mention, and 3 hours + of TLC every day, he is doing great! I am pleased to announce that this is a story with a happy ending.
Taken on January 5th, 2009. Welcome home, Budo! :D

I was rearranging his cage furniture that day. I think he was pleased.

Fun in the tub! With his severe dehydration upon arrival, he got daily baths. Now we've just gotten into the routine. It's his favorite time of the day!

After baths, we snuggle until it's bedtime... by which time he is already asleep. :D
