It is so cool that you are still cycling him. I bet he's your buddy, huh? Thanks for sharing all the information. Has he ever had any illnesses? Did you see my thread on rehabbing the black rat snake? He's doing great, but now has more issues! Swelling around the heart and swelling in the throat area. I am in touch with an expert rehabber and she's helping a lot. But I am always looking for more resources!
