He looks great...I think all your challenges with this guy are behind you, you've done a great job with him, truly.

Bogertophis,
I don't want to jinx it, but I think you are right. He just inhaled a 40G weaned rat and frankly, he is thriving.
It means a lot that you, and others here, have said Katie and I did a great job with him. We did our best and he deserved that and we were able to give that. When I talk to my buddy Don Soderberg from South Mountain Reptiles, where I got Solana, he still calls Yafe the "Ghost Snake" and says he's a miracle and he's amazed by the effort we put in.
It's paid dividends though. He's an awesome snake and a real display snake. He's often on his perches and it's fun to see him out, even he's sleeping . He's also super chill and a great buddy. I think we will be buds for a long time to come.

I don't want to jinx it either but I really believe & hope that's so. You never gave up, & neither did Yafe.

Thank you both.
I saw fight in Yafe, as I've said before. I respect "fighters." Takes one to know one. I think I am part cat and have 4 lives left.
From being born 9 weeks early in 1980 and having my right lung collapse and given a 10% chance to make it, to 2 kidney surgeries, including a transplant, and multiple complications, etc. I haven't quit either.
He wanted it, he wanted to live. I just helped facilitate that in a way he couldn't for himself. However, as we say in Yiddish, he's got Chutzpah. I respect the heck out of that.
Interestingly enough, I watch Clint's Reptiles Channel on Youtube and he adopted a Jungle Carpet, that even with ideal conditions, developed a full blown RI as an adult. Apparently, stress can really bring those on in these guys. He too saved that snakes life.
Of course, I am unclear, as he might be, of the history fo the animal, etc. Yafe was young, stressed, and therefore susceptible. However, captive bred and previously healthy.
Either way, and knock on wood, I've had Yafe almost a year and as stated, is doing fantastic now. I do watch him like a hawk, but I also have relaxed a bit, and know what to do if anything changes.
