Sumara (she would look amazing on the red towel background but she wouldn't sit still lol):
And in other news, I picked up a little "project" snake on Sunday: I went to get some rats from this friend who lives close (who also keeps snakes) and I noticed he still had a little Dumeril's boa left from his ~August litter (he has since sold the parents and all the other babies). This little one has refused to even have its first ever meal since being born and though wasn't super skinny it was very small and acted "off" and weak (wouldn't hold itself right and would roll off to the side when moving but was otherwise looking responsive). He mentioned he didn't know what else to do with it and that it may not make it so he gave it to me since I expressed interest in seeing if I could get it started and thriving. It's 44 grams - I changed around the set up and temps once I brought it home to make it more secure and comfortable.
Fast forward to last night....this little one took it's first ever meal (a f/t fuzzy mouse) off tongs for me! I cannot express my total happiness and hopefulness: though it's possible it still might not make it I think this little one will pull through and catch up in good time. I'm very hopeful for its future and it will be staying here with me if it turns around and proves physically healthy
