New rescue

Just picked this guy up this afternoon. He was posted online for free because he hasn't eaten since before the winter. He was being kept in a dry basement so I'm guessing the cool temps and lack of humidity played a pretty big role in that. He's definitely underweight, weighing in at 445g, with a very well defined back bone. I'm not sure how old he is, this owner has had him for year and got him from someone else before that. He had a full body retained shed so the humidity must have been almost nonexistent, and on his neck there were two layers of old shed. Soaked him for a while and got almost all of the old shed off. He's super alert and curious so I'm pretty confident he'll bounce back with proper care. He came with a 4x2' PVC cage that's divided into three, so he's got 24x16" of space. I'll let him settle for a week before offering him a meal, apparently he used to eat f/t rats so we'll try that.

He looks 100% better! Hopefully with correct temps and humidity he'll break his fast quickly.

He is beautiful and it sounds like he found the perfect new home with you!

It's a shame some people can be so stupid. That's good that he got a proper home before it was too late. He'll be much happier. :D

He looks so much improved already with that stuck shed off, and I bet he feels better too. I've seen thread where snakes were much more emaciated and were able to bounce back, so I hope he'll do well for you!

Boy did he look sad! :tears:

Looks better already. Lucky to have a caring owner like you. :gj:

He looks so much better, and I bet he feels so much better, too! Kudos to you for helping the little guy!:gj::snake:

Good to know that he is in good hands.

Good on ya :gj:
