I posted back in the beginning of April about a snake I had adopted.
A lady's son had bought this snake without her permission, totally neglected it, until it eventually escaped, and this snake survived in her walls for three months in the middle of a Pennsylvanian winter.
We found out later he had glutted himself on the squirrels living in her walls
Anyway, at first, I had some trouble with him eating. I want to feed him frozen, but because of his time away in the walls, he refuses no matter what I try.
So I fed him live baby mice, which he also refused to eat- for weeks.
I tried a few tips I found online (spraying him with warm water right before I put the mouse in works the best)
He remains enormously obese (his head is smaller than my thumb nail, but I can't wrap my hand around his body), despite eating only fuzzies now.
But isn't he gorgeous?! (excuse the cage...it's his "feeding/cleaning" time cage.)
