alright i have about a year n half old.. maybe i got him from petco and he pretty much was 3 feet and now is at 4 or 5. never had any issues with him very smart n active. loves to eat very gentle loves his scales rubbed. i used to use a glass cage with a screen lock top.. the ppl on this site side go with rubber maid is way better lol. well rubber made tops warp from constant heat it seems lol. his hiddles in the lid can be lift up very easy now from almost a year of use. thats how it got out. i live in alaska and atm its 10 degrees outside and about 50 to 45 in the floor boards < where he was. i knew this and left him his water bowl n a hide for him. well today when i was chilling playing a game on my laptop i heard some ... snake movement lol it wasnt clumbsy like a ferret but more like a hunting stalking lol so i got up n wow a very very VERY cold snake.. cold enough to burn my forarm . if i had to ges he was at maybe 40 degrees. anyways i went and bought him 3 mice within 15 mins of finding him when i left i let him sit in his cage at 83 air temp so probs about 90 atleast on the ground. i did slowly warm him with my arms and when i went to fix up his cage my wife took him to her chest... his fav place lol ahaha. anyways he wont eat he seems very weak and.. paranoid even tryd to drown himself he sat face in the water bowl for 5 secs till i drug him out. dunno if he went into hybornation or what since i read somewhere u can drop there temp to 55 and not feed or water them for a few months to prepare them for maiting... or something like that. lmk if he is alright or should i vet him n have him lookd at
