    Well that's good to hear! I was worried when I first saw him... Being half the size of the other boa at same age and with the creased skin around the head and rough sheds the first thing I jumped to was 'sick snake'. He did have a massive poop, and I haven't seen him since.... And I mean it was massive. Like, 50% of his body mass I'm pretty sure.

    He's been hiding Solid since we got him so I can't wait until his settle in period is up cause I absolutely can't wait to Get some nice pictures, as well as some brief handling in.

    Will start a thread for him soon.

    I added another hide to remos enclosure last night and gave him a good misting. While I was in there I decided to take a peek and see how he's doing and he has shed. He in fact had a full stuck shed, which was causing the really creased looking folds around his neck.

    He is also larger than I remember, for some reason I under estimated how big he actually is. We. Will probably try and feed him this weekend as it would be 3 weeks since his last meal.

    I am now even more excited about him, as before I could not see what he really looked like. He has great color with tons of pink blushing throughout his body and is very pink on his cheeks.

    As soon as he settles in a bit longer I will get some pictures up.
