This is my old man, Turk:
I can't tell you how old he is or how much he weighs, but he's SO big for a male, that I would not be the least bit surprised if he's over 10 years old. My scale only goes up to 2500g and he gets the "error" message if he just dips his tail on it. LOL
He's never been bred that I'm aware of. He's a pet. He was a rescue taken in by NERD years ago and was already an adult with many scars. Some of the scars are obviously keeper-neglect...and some look like old scars from nature, so he may have been a wild-caught import. When we had a table at the Daytona show, Kara gave us Turk to be our BP.net "spokes-snake". He lived with Nate for awhile after the show and then has been with me for the last 2-3 years. Super laid-back and a real pleasure to handle....an excellent ambassador for the snake world!
