Thanks, everyone for your replies. Yes, I found the sticky on bad shed shortly after my last post.

Killerkid, put it this way, when I made the vet appt. the receptionist asked if he had a name yet. I said, "Mr. Snake." She said, "You must have kids." She was right. My 6 yr. old son, Ryan, named him. And the props should go to his friend, Loki, only 4 yrs old, who has Mr. Frog. Ryan "borrowed" the naming methodology....

Glad you like the name. It's growing on us all. And so is he.

Is it possible to have only one BP? I'm resisting the urge here.... My husband jokes about me getting my "fix" by holding Mr. Snake.... LOL! The down side is that I can't get my fix when he is shedding or digesting!
