Soon to be new guy

[Fraido]

He's been sitting in this very crappy place with no heat source for God only knows how long. He/she even had another snake in the enclosure which unfortunately passed away a couple weeks ago. I don't think it's ever been taken out other than for moving and cleaning. Not a lot of muscle, it's just squishy. I've been cleaning these snakes for the past few months, I just started truly interacting with this guy after the "buddy" died and I had to take him out for a mass enclosure clean, I've been incredibly intimidated by them due to the lack of handling, so I never messed with them, plus I've been struck at a bunch. Finally the person is getting rid of the snakes, for free I might add, but the enclosure with him is a hundred bucks. It's an old AP enclosure I believe, so not bad. It's due for a good scrub down when I finally take this guy home.

Overall he's chilling out. I've not been struck at out of the enclosure, but I've recieved some major huffs and intimidating stares, I still don't really trust moving my hand anywhere near his head or anything, but we'll be good buds I'm sure. 😁

Can't wait to get him out and moving around more often so he can muscle up, and to give him a better life.
