Yes, I will be heartbroken to a certain extent. I am really falling in love with him. I got him out this afternoon and he didn't tongue flick until I let him explore a little outside of my lap. I picked him up again and offered to let him down onto the floor after a few minutes, but he climbed up me, preferring the safety of "mama." I was touched. We are bonding. But I know he will be much happier outside. And I'll look for him almost everyday, hoping to get a glimpse of the happy and healthy boy I've gotten to have the pleasure of helping. It's an honor and a high.
I also decided I need to get a colubrid for my next snake! With two pythons and two boas, things won't feel right around here when Lefty is released!
Yes, I am thrilled! His progress makes me feel so relieved. The worst is over. Maybe he would have been fine on his own, but hopefully, I helped him heal a little faster with the warmer temps and the wound treatment I provided. AND I got to handle him! Ha ha. He ROCKS!
I can't wait for him to shed so I can offer him a nice warm meal!![]()
