    Re: Attempting a rehab of a Enchi hatchling from a "Pet" store....Advice wanted!
    I appreciate the kind comments! I also understand the comments about not buying from pet stores and contributing to the problem. Rescues are also "transactions" as they generally charge a re-homing fee for the animal in their care. I have never purchased any kind of animal from a pet store other than feeders. I purchase from breeders, but, I understand not knowing someone and coming to conclusions over one post, but I did this out of concern. Hence my comment about "making the mistake of asking....", I know that he/she will be replaced with another, but I'm not at the point where I will leave an "animal" who is in bad shape, just to "teach a lesson" to a pet store. Thank you to those with positive and helpful comments. Enzo is in quarantine and will hopefully get through this situation with flying colors! I will update after I try and feed him. Let's keep this post positive, if there is something that concerns anyone, please PM me!
    Thanks again, and have a great week everyone!

    I used to go into pet stores for supplies until I saw the conditions they keep their reptiles in. I would always leave upset and furious, so I've started getting my supplies via Amazon and my feeders from a local breeder and friend of mine. Your little dude looks pretty good for a pet store baby. I shudder when I think of some of the other snakes I've seen is those death factories. Keep us posted! That cutie is going to have a long and happy life ahead of him now :)

    He's not nearly as bad off as some I've seen. Resist the urge to stuff him with food right away. Regular feedings(especially on rats if he'll take them) will get him back up to weight and the skin and coloration will brighten and clear up within a few sheds.

    Make sure his heat and humidity is spot on, don't over-handle and feed on a regular schedule and you'll soon have a healthy little BP. They're tough little buggers.

    Re: butterballpython, here is an update!
    Here is Enzo. I don't normally name my snakes, but he reminds me of one of my favorite WWE superstars, Enzo Amore. Enzo has a tag-team partner, Big Cass, who is 7 foot tall! Enzo Amore is 5'11" so he's "small" in comparison. :)

    These were taken over the past couple of months.
    He is on rat fuzzies and slowly growing. I love his blushing and I think he will be a stunner when he hits 500+ grams.

    Glad he pulled through and is improving. Beautiful snakes! Also I just have to say your Banana Mojave is just stunning.

    Enzo is looking better, and is probably a lot happier, too. Thanks for the pictures and the update. :)

    The banana mojave looks nice!

    Thank you, cheosamad & butterballpython! He's been a trooper and I'm thankful he's doing so well! He just gets better looking with each new shed. He is going to look killer when he grows up!
    The Banana Mojave is a eating machine and he just started getting in the little black speckling that Banana's have. Thank you for the kind comments. :D I would recommend checking out https://www.facebook.com/medusamorphs/?fref=ts Logan Stillwell is great to work with. He's a wealth of information and produces high-quality animals.
