I am planning on bumping the humidity up when he gets home to help him a little. Luckily it was only a couple of spots that it was stuck.Originally Posted by tttaylorrr
not sure about the morph: colors definitely look Pastel but i'm not familiar with the Alpha gene.
in the pictures i see the snake has stuck shed. when he's home ensure he has slightly higher humidity (65%) to help him get it off.
you will not know the true health of the animal for ~3 months, as snakes are VERY good at hiding illness and disease. those of us who keep multiple snakes call this 3 month period a "quarantine" where the snake is kept away from the collection so there is no risk of cross contamination. i wouldn't go to a vet right away; wait out those 3 months and, if you think it's necessary, feel free to take him.
everyone covered some really helpful tips already, so i just wanted to try and talk about what hasn't been yet and try and spread some knowledge.
you're in good hands here. welcome.
And thank you for that tip! I will probably wait a little and watch him, make sure he eats and all. The only reason I may take him before three months is to be positive he is at a good weight and that he doesn't have mites. Also to double check the sex.
Again I have to thank you all for being so nice. I'm very shy so I was super nervous that I'd get rude replies but y'all have been so nice to me and I feel so welcomed it's amazing.
