Hi well the rescue center was at a local small show today, it was to rise much needed money, halfway through the day a man come up and asked will we take his carpet, so we did. It is fully grown and we soon noticed Gungi on it bobby, anyway I have took it and we put some cream on to it. so I now have a fungal infected snake to look after. I will make appointment for the vets tomorrow.
Pcs to follow in about half hour.

Thanks he is a big boy but I think he is under fed, I do not have any thing bigger than a small rat and he is hungry so I have give him two and he took them.

Well I had to do some digging about Joe, then found out that he was from the pet shop that I get the food from, He told me it was sold to a door man and he got ill and give it to the man that we got in off, anyway he also told me that the man ues to feed it if he had money and it was not alway substantial or regula. So I have now got him at the vets tomorrow night 5-40 and hope that it is not to bad, I do not think it is that bad but hey I am not a vet just some one helping a sick snake.

He looks to be of proper weight if not very slightly underweight. Shame about the scars, but I am sure you'll get him up to speed. Congrats!
Ya know, I have to say scars or no scars that's a good looking snake... Kudos to you my friend!

Hi I feed Joe again this morning, I got him a large Rat F T and put it in his viv. He come out but did not take it although he was in strake position, so schoolboy error I opened the viv and got my tones to move the pray, Before I blinked he had me it was a great bite, thumb and first finger [COOL] he has a great grip, what a wally and pillock I was, now I have some very interesting pain.

Hi Ian,
That was cool of you to take him in like that. It's been a few months. How is Joe doing now? Gaining some weight?
