thanks Will...i know how you feel. Sixx fasted for 4 months and he is not even a year old yet. i told kyle that i would post this for suggestions to help him out, though. i am just glad he cared enough to take him and raise him from here on out. i would, but while my boys are young, i am skeptical about having a new older snake that i am not sure of how he has been treated and may not like them, like Sixx does. they can grow up together!!! maybe someday when they are older, i can help with the "rescue" efforts.
