He will think he died and went to heaven !!
Such a good looking fellow, too, he will clean up nicely !! Great contrast and pattern.
Once he is settled in I would feed him regular meals. But not jump right away into heavy feeding. Normally, young Ball Pythons are garbage disposals and can eat a TON.
But with this starvation diet he was on, you just don't know what shape his organs and system are in.
I'm not sure if its even comparable, but in other animals, you can cause organ failure by feeding a "starved" animal to much or to fast. Called "re-feeding syndrome".
Again, no idea if that is a "thing" in snakes, but if he survived that long, there is no rush to bring him up super fast.
I sure can't wait to see him somewhat plumped up, though. Bet he will be gorgeous !!
