I applaudyou! Thanks for stepping up when someone decided it was too much to take careof an animal they brought into their home.

That beingsaid it looks like glass terrarium you have him/her in, if so the humidity willbe an issue if you going to keep him in there for now, if it has not been alreadyhandled. Card board/wooden plank, I used a cutting board for a while till I figuredit out lol.. Wrapped in foil or I wrapped in shrink wrap over my screen meshtop, but that would be depending on your heat source if you using CTH as well. Iwill go with your last response and assume you just using UTH so you would befine.

Yousaid he had shed issues when you received him, just an FYI until you get his permanenthome (I’m just gona call it a “him”) especially in a glassenclosure, misting is crucial, as well as a big water bowl, wide… good substrate co-co nut husk I see .. & as Deb saidsex and age would be best determined by a more experienced person, who can physicallydo the “popping”, for someone who has never done this, it can causeserious injury to your snake and IMO, would not be worth the risk .. it is not importantif you do not intend to mate …but then genes becomes yournext question n on that MORE pic of this beautiful looking normal?, I see lil reducedpattern very little to indicate other wise unless you want to elaborate on hismorph, but I am not your gene ID guy lol… I’m just a friendly FYI tohelp you better communicate as more experienced members will want to know moredetails far as:
temps, humidity, feeding, poop, handling, weight,etc. and also the Vet if you end up wanting to find out more about your animal.So just get as much details as you can from his previous owners and keep upwith his stats if you haven’t already started a log andall that, hopefully he will be just fine in your care… good luck!!
