Hi all!
I am new to the forums -- sort of. I had an account several (re: 8?) years ago when I still lived in the UK but can't remember what my username was to save my life. My partner and I recently moved to Seattle, and I just got a baby BP from an acquaintance who I would consider to be in rescue condition.
My snakey history is that I've a couple of BPs before, but was always a pet/casual keeper. My beloved Bellatrix was a female spider ball python who I had from hatchling stage to her unexpected death at age 8 in 2017. She was so chilled out and was a great eater. I also raised a lesser pastel female from baby to age 3, when I sold her to a breeder because she was a beautiful and huge but nippy and never really made a good pet.
I recently got a new baby normal after we moved from the UK to Seattle, who is in pretty rough shape. The acquaintance got him from Petco for her son and was keeping him a critter keeper with only an overhead heat lamp, a climbing log, water and no hides. She decided to get rid of him because he had bitten her son and wasn't eating, and asked if I wanted him because I had mentioned I was thinking about getting another snake. I've gotten him in a much better setup now, but I am a little worried because he's dangerously skinny and I'm not sure how much time I have to convince him to eat
