He is a real trooper, this one... I swear, if i had offered food that same night he would have eaten it. But just to be safe, i did give him two days to rest before feeding. lol Thanks so much for the comment. ^-^

See if this helps answer those questions:

What an amazing story! I'm so happy you found eachother and that you were able to save that little guy. I would say he definitely looked appreciative and happy in many of your pictures. You've done a fantastic job with Sir Plop. He looks like a totally different animal. Kudos to you!! I wish you many happy years together.

I havent read through all the pages on this post but the one suggestion I have is DO NOT put him into a 40 gallon tank right away...40 gallon tank would be way too big for him especially with what he has been through so far...let him gain some size and weight first.

Wow what an amazing transition! That snake was very fortunate to have you come along and nurse it back to health, great job
Let me forewarn you however, some may not agree with your decision and give you flak for it. I recently posted a thread a few weeks ago telling of a California king snake in a somewhat similar predicament. I'm still working on getting the price reduced just like you have succeeded in doing. A lot of people here told me I shouldn't call it a rescue and that I would be doing more harm than good in buying the snake for any price.
At the risk of sounding melodramatic, all I'm saying is, don't let anyone doubt the good you have done here. All of us here know that snake would have been dead if you wouldn't have taken it upon yourself to take care of it.
Keep us all updated, he looks like a completely different animal!

Its great that you saved a baby too, what is horrible though is that there are so many that need to be saved... *sigh*

If anyone tells me that this isnt a rescue, paid for or not, i will tell them to look back at the first picture again, and then ask why they think it isnt a rescue. This snake needed to be saved, the store made no money on this snake, as i got it for %50 off, which ate all their profit margin. So, yes, i rescued this snake, and no one can tell me any different.
Good luck with your rescue, i hope you can get the price down!
