A desperately needed rescue!

[MinLynn]

So,Matt(my husband) was on his way home from work today and as he was driving down the street he noticed a group of kids who looked to be between 10 & 12 walking down the sidewalk. He was more concerned with what they were swinging around in the air,though. When he stopped and got out of the car,he saw that it was a very,very tiny little ball python! The kid was holding it by the tip of the tail and swinging it very hard. Matt demanded they stop and give him the baby or he was going to call the cops. The kid had no problem handing Matt the snake and told him the only reason he was swinging it like that was because he kept biting him and he was on his way to "get rid of it". The baby never once struck at Matt and immediately curled up into a tiny little ball and stayed that way the whole ride home. I was absolutely shocked at just how tiny this little guy is! I'm assuming he is a new 09 hatchling. He looks pretty skinny and his skin is pretty wrinkled. Luckily,I had some 10gallons since I just switched my 08 corns up to adult vivs this past weekend. I set one up for him and he headed straight for the water and then straight to the warm hide. He doesn't seem to be injured at all that I can tell and he isn't even head shy! Just wants and needs some lovin'! Poor baby! We're calling him Survivor and Surry for short. That way it fits either gender.
