    Pied Progression Journal
    5/2/2015

    Weighed again today on an (at least mostly) empty stomach. Two adult mice later, 147g. His /blister/ is looking a bit better, less red and no more puffy than it was. Wanted to see if he'd be interested in more food, so I dangled a live mouse in his bin-- usually I'd kill it if he showed interest, as he was too weak to do it himself, but today he SNATCHED it and got the job done like a pro.

    Normally I'd try feeding once a week, but since he's so underweight is it alright to offer more than that? Or should I just let him take a few prey items once a week? One mouse left, then going to try switching him to smaller rat pups.

    You can try to feed him every 4 days.

    Looking good. You save a snake, and get a sweet ass snake for free.

    Still fail to understand how a snake gets that thin with a feeding response like that.

    Wow!! He does look like a whole new snake! Thank you for taking it in. I look forward to the updates. Pieds are my favorite morph!

    Keep up what you're doing! Beautiful animal. I hope he makes a full recovery. Honestly, how does one let a snake get in that condition? And why? Especially with that feeding response... You can definitely feed him more than once a week. Four to six days is just fine for a young ball.

    Oh, and as a name suggestion... How about Thunder? Going along with the storm idea with that one. Tsunami also seems like it would fit him, because his life at the pet store was like being hit by a tsunami and the floods were destroying him, while the waters are carrying him to a better life. Or maybe Zephyr, partly because it sounds cool and also because the rest of his life will hopefully be like a gentle breeze. Tsunami is my favorite out of those three.
