You do realize, you're probably going to have this snake for some time. Sunbeams aren't what one would call a friendly snake. I think they musk too.

Your friend should try to sell or give the snake to someone that is more prepared to keep this snake. This snake being a WC, has it been taken to a vet to ensure everything is okay? Mites, ticks, worms, etc?

I personally would NEVER take in a WC from somewhere on the east coast of the USA, even if the snake is on the other side of my house with it dripping in PAM.

That's just my opinion, but my collection is worth much more to me than any favor I could do for a friend.

Good Luck!
