    Rescue update

    So it's been two months now and my little guy finally went threw his first shed today. I was getting worried about maybe humidity and what not, but I have a 135/55g fish tanks in my room it's plenty humid year round. I always feel it when I open his bin.

    Anyways came out all in one piece. I'm guessing he soaked in his dish because when I just cleaned the tank out the paper was soaked as well as the shed. Super stoked. He looks like he has been getting a little fatter since I got him. Almost enough that I only feed every 10 days. A med/small rat depending on what they have.

    I still don't know his weight. I know I know. I just don't feel the need to buy a scale when he's taking down small/med rats with out any problem.

    He has not bit me since the first morning I handled him when I'm guessing he was starving. He likes being handled now. Still a bit head shy, but we hang out almost daily watching tv or playing Xbox at night.

    With all that said... Here's the pics. : )

    Wow very nice!! Glad to see him make a good recovery!

    P.S. Get a scale lol. Its a good way to find out if feeding a small rat every ten days is enough for him. Looks like he could take a bigger one.

    Thanks guys. Like every other hobby I'm just glad a little hard work is paying off.

    Although keeping snakes is 100x's easier then the upkeep of my fish tanks : )

    I should be getting a scale soon anyways so when I finally get my albino female I'll be able to properly track her growth.
