    Talking Update 4 months later - Nigel the rescue BP

    Nigel came w/ his name, he is my avatar pic.
    He was purchased at a local pet store... and fed pinky mice for a LOOOONG time...was kept in a TOO large enclosure/ w. minimal substrate.. and not 1 but 2 under tank heaters (no thermostat) AND 2 over head heat lamps. W/ one hide...
    He was dehydrated, thin, in a bad shed.. and well just not well off.
    Then...






    And Now...




    Just thought I would share.

    It's like a reverse diet thread..."Look I used to be all slender and tan...now I'm chubby and lighter! WOO!"

    Snakes have the life...we cheer when the eat well and bulk up and sleep all day. I want that.

    He's a beaut man. I'm glad there's people out there that are willing and able to put snakes that wouldn't have a chance otherwise into a good home.
    edit: lol sorry "man" would be incorrect. It should be gal or girl.

    can you see me? I thought I had my webcam turned off!
    Its been over 16 years since I have had to take care of a snake and I want to make sure I do everything correct. If I had not taken this snake, it would have been killed.

    He looks great!!! ^-^ I'm glad Nigel has such a great home now. Though his name still reminds me of a stuffy guy from George of the Jungle.
