I was 36. Mine was a rescue. Adult son living with parents and moving soon didn't want it anymore, had tried to sell snake and enclosure for $80. No takers. I had expressed mild interest (since I had no idea how to take care of a snake), and a couple weeks later, parent called my husband to verify if I was serious. Said he would pay his kid the $80, and I could just have it.

Malfoy came to me with just a heat lamp, one hide, no humidity, open screen top, and a mouse buddy that had been living with him for 2 weeks. The water dish had a layer of slime, and some of the aspen bedding had molded at the bottom (who knows how long it had been since cleaned). Malfoy hadn't eaten in 4 months at that point, went another 2 before he ate for me. The mouse he came with died a week after arrival.

Now Malfoy if fasting for the winter again, but he is starting out 1.5lb heavier, and has a much better enclosure. Last thing I really need to get is a thermostat so I can get the UTH going (haven't needed it until now).
