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.

Holy moly that's tiny for an old snake! Where they feeding him once a year?! :O

Hope he gets feeding and growing for you soon, good luck!

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. ;)

Aww, that poor little guy. Hope he does well for you!

...I just wanna shove food down that poor boys gullet!! :(

Okay don't do that. But seriously - I wish you the best!

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.

Thanks guys. Just an update, little man ate the other day. Another weanling. So far he has kept it down and is now put into the rack with my other balls. I hope he holds this one down.

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.

Update! Little man checked out with the vet and is eating consistently and keeping it down. I'll try to get some pics in the next day or so

Awe I'm glad he is doing well:banana:
