So, i am very excited. I was talking to someone about a snake they rescued which was listed as a hognose and went to take a look at it yesterday.
Turns out it is a blond speckled hognose. It is disabled. This person rescued it from a neglectful home and it had so many bad sheds that it ended up blind from it.
Well, i picked him up. Great size, great weight. Maybe 2 and 1/2 feet. close to 900 grams from guess-timation. Beautiful color and a great attitude. He loves to explore, especially the top of people's heads. Great little guy!
I will try and get some pictures up soon, if he'll let me.
This morning, i took him to the vet, just to be on the safe side. Nothing wrong with him, but any snake i get, regarless of knowlege of it's origination, gets a trip to the man/woman in white. Should be fine, but i always stick with a strict vet and quarantine for two months. By then he should be out of brumation, too. Yay!
