Awhile ago I posted a photo of one of my rescues, Scar

http://www.ball-pythons.net/forums/s...ad.php?t=60260

He is horribly scarred. I was told he had a burn by the previous owner. Although after watching him for quite awhile, I have come to the conclusion that Heather (LadyOhh) was correct in her observation that it may have been rat bites.(thanks Heather!) He seems terrified of food. Rats, mice, live or killed...just terrified...no matter how I offer the rodent, once he smells it, he wants nothing to do with it. He WILL show interest, but once he knows what it is, he immediately shys away....sometimes gets very angry, knocking over his water and trashing his enclosure.

I have tried everything...

in cage
out of cage
live
FT
fresh killed
brained (can you say gross?)
gutted (see above)
pre scented
daytime
nighttime

his entire back has a scar, as you can see...but once he was out of quarantine and I got to take a real good look....I noticed he only has one nostril....there is no sign of scar where it should be and it does not seem to bother him

he shed perfectly about two weeks after we got him, including over his nostril area....

he's been here for two months...i was told he had not eaten three months previous.....i suspect more as he's a HUGE BOY and rapidly losing weight...

I hate to see this guy suffer....he's been through so much....any help would be really appreciated
Thanks!
