    Yes he has a few on him, The rescue said it looked like burns from a heat lamp. and he has a scar/mark on his nose

    they said it looked like from a rat bite/scratch probably from a live feeding.

    I was told he's 10 years old or so

    He's good, He'll get used to me a little at a time as I learn his mannerisms and personality.

    He does come out of his hide when I'm in the room with him to watch me so I talk to him when I'm in there

    He seems curious, just a little jumpy, that might have been due to prior owners too. No clue if he ever got out or not

    If only I could teach all my snakes to come out and onto my shoulder, That would work well

    I don't know how often he was handled, if at all, but I'll give him a short time out every 3 or 4 days

    with his age and size, I'm hoping he'll adjust pretty quick.

    Maybe he has "cold feet"? That's pretty cute though.

    Oh my goodness, what a goof. Maybe he just wants to stretch out and isn't too bothered with temps right now

    Re: Welcome Home He Who Has Not Been Named Yet.

    Quick question.....

    I noticed he still hisses a lot, no mucus or open mouth or anything, and he doesn't seem to do it until I get him out.

    Then he seems to hiss every now and then but only on an exhale, and he seems to breathe normally. No huffing and puffing

    I'm guessing that's just the way that species is?

    He is pretty gentle when he's out and doesn't strike at anybody. Doesn't have to be looking at you either to hiss.

    He's still kinda bitey when I first get him out of his enclosure though, I gotta watch him or he'll get me.

    He gets out twice a week for about 15-20 minutes then I put him back, He calms down a lot quicker that he first did.

    I'll get a well check up at the vet scheduled, just wanted to give him time to adjust and settle in a little before exposing him to that.

    Yeah, carpets can be a little talkative sometimes
