no id id not mention any hide as i didnt know he needed one since he didnt have one in the cage but i will definately get him one, and remove the log? i have heard snakes can get burned and i constantly check the pad to make sure its not too hot, i actually wasnt sure if it was getting warm enough at one point. the vet sexed him yes, said he was male. he did just eat on sunday afternoon, so i figured he should eat again today right? yeah he has a pretty cool pattern but he is soo creepy lol. i still dont know what i was thinking taking him home lol. like i dont have enough to take care of, ive got two mini pinschers, ones a rescue, and 2 kitties both rescues. so ive got my hands full but i hope he comes around i felt so bad, i know hes a snake but how could someone just throw him out, especially in arizona heat. some people disgust me.
