Found it! It's a good thing that it wasn't winter and yes, it would be nice if the person that left the snake to fend for its self would get what was coming to them woudn't it?

I had to laugh at this as I can imagine how crappy it must be for rabbits that are being eaten by hawks! I respect all life but also appreaciate that some things have evolved to eat other things, humans included (which is why I don't understand some folks' desire to be vegetarian).

Good for you for not only taking the snake from your friend but also deciding to keep it and give it the care that it needs, and good luck to your son saving up the money to buy a BP of his own good for your for letting him! Sounds like you'll make sure that he is a responsible owner and never leaves a snake in the conditions that your new guy was found in. Are you going to make him buy the setup for his snake as well?
