Local animal shelter has an aging BP, Need opinions on some Issues I see happening:

1st issue is enclosure, I have a couple 10 gallons and a 20 sitting around, I know their not big enough
I did email the shelter to see if he comes with an enclosure.

how about the "I need to eat 5 small mice once a month. I do not eat frozen food!"
Is 13 to old to change habits and get him/her on a F/T diet of appropriately sized rat?

And "I like to take baths when I'm shedding" I'm assuming he probably dose not "like" baths and regulated humidity is what he needs

As to housing, I know I can't put him in the snake room until 3-6 months down the road, 5 snakes are in the snake room, Scicle (corn snake) is in the living room, so if he would stay in my bedroom, so the issue of me transferring mites/issues are there, I usually have a cup of coffee in the morning before I jump in the shower, So I am in the living room for an hour or so.

So is that workable? I defiantly don't want to give anything to my established crew, and If I can't make it work to give this guy a home I'm sure he'll find one. But if I can give him a place to live all the better..

Here is what the previous owners had to say.

Hi my name is Monty! I do not know if I am a male or a female. I am a good pet to have if you like snakes. I am presently 13 years old. My owners have to give me up because they are aging and may not be able to care for me much longer. I will live at least another 20 years! My parents will miss me and my Human Mom is crying as you are reading this.

I like to be held and I like to be gently massaged. I need someone who will not tease or flick at me with their fingers as I will recoil and may bite. When you want to hold me or take me out of my cage, please make a fist and call my name. If you reach with fingers extended, remember that they are smaller than my mouth and I might snap .

I need to eat 5 small mice once a month. I do not eat frozen food! Please Clean my cage once a month also. I like to drink water only after I have eaten and I like to take baths when I'm shedding.
Please do not put live plants in my cage. "
