I am about to rescue a big normal this weekend. I don't know if it is a male or female at this point. I saw it on craigslist. They had a picture of the setup and it is just all wrong. They said this snake is a little on the aggressive side, always striking and that is why they want it gone. I believe that every animal deserves a second chance. I have had the enclosure set up for a little over a week getting temps and everything right where it needs to be.
