Thanks. He definitely deserves a good life and he is getting it now. Honestly, he will never leave my home because I would worry myself to death wondering if he was getting treated properly...lol

He looks fantastic now, he's got such a nice dark color that I keep thinking he's constantly in shed. It makes me happy to know that he's fat and sassy now.
I guess they didn't realize that snakes have bones? I have no clue what they were thinking. Honestly, I can't even figure out why they thought the snake couldn't breathe. I mean seriously, where the rat goes, does not hinder breathing. All I can think of is, the snake was having trouble getting the rat down (probably too large of a rat) and without muscle to actually move the rat down quickly, it was taking much longer. This caused them to think the snake was choking and couldn't breath maybe???? I don't know.

He does look fantastic now. I can even see the iridescence in the newer pictures. I can't believe how much color he has now compared to when we got him and how fat he is! He doesn't even look like the same snake anymore!
