Jasper's story is supposedly that he was living in a classroom. He's supposedly been bred before, and was supposedly a good eater....but then the lady we got him from said that SHE got him from a boy who worked in her store, and he was super skinny...so she force fed him. And he was OBESE. Terrified of us feeding him until one day he just woke up and wanted to eat! It was very exciting for us. He just....decided we were okay (he had lost a bunch of weight by then...and actually still looked really normal and large) and started crawling around his tank...and then FOLLOWED me to the corner of it (where i sit on the floor sometimes and mess with snake supplies) and stared at me. Watched every move, and lifted his head up and down and followed me. It was clearly snake begging. We got a rat out...and he struck and ate instantly. i was so happy i jumped up and down clappled like a dork!
Anyway, he's been out of his hides every since, and cruises around happily now, at night. He's way less stressed, and doesn't seem to mind us too much now. It's happy
Here are some of his scars though
I managed to get the impression that when he lived in the classroom, he was fed live food...possibly a rabbit....unattended...which is where this huge scar came from.
He has tons more little scars, and scar tissue knots on his body. One behind his head. He's a great looking nice snake though. I can't find the one of him in his water dish...i'll post that later...
Anyway, I have a rescued rose hair tarantula, corn snake, and cockatiel alsoThey were easy & healthy though *lol*
