Severus

Some photos of my baby ball, Severus. We've been together about two months.
When I got him, he was severely underfed, underweight, and had a prolapse.
Since then, his prolapse has healed, he's steadily gaining weight, and he eats regularly with no issues!

The day I brought him home, lookit his sweet little face.

Well you sure have done a great job with the little guy. He looks great! :)

This made me smile:) great job, thanks so much for helping a rescue!!

Beautiful job with him! What a perfect home. :)

Thanks, all!
I try! :D

I got Severus a new hide, that I thought was super cute, and a new substrate! I was using Aspen shavings and then I switched to Eco Earth Coconut Fiber Substrate.
While he was eating, I cleaned his tank and put the new additions in. He loved them! I have never seen him frolic in such a way! He was having himself a grand ole time.

He loves his reflection, its so weird. He perched himself up there and just stared at himself.

My daughter loves your snake's name! She's a big Harry Potter fan. Our Tiger Pastel is named Felix (for felix felicis). Good on you for rescuing him!

Thanks for rescuing him! He looks healthy also! How old is he?

He is looking good!

I'm not exactly sure. I was told he was a couple months old when I got him. I have him pegged at around 8 months.

I upgraded Severus' tank this weekend! I got a great deal on a 29 gallon tank and while he was feeding on Friday, I sanitized and set up his new home. I was nervous that he would get stressed out going from a 10 gallon to a 29 gallon, but he loves it. I think he likes the extra room, the added decor (fake plants) and updated UTH with thermostat.

I added this one in for fun, I love how he looks when he's hiding in his coco hut. Sometimes he gets his whole body in there and other times he just hides his head, like this.
