So I basically rescued this ball from a guy selling him/her on craigslist. When I met with him to buy the snake, it had a big burn on it back, half shed on and off, the tank he sold me with it was disgusting and its eyes look kinda funny. i just had to buy it. he was only selling it for 50 dollars. so this is my new addition. he said its eating good, well see in 3 or 4 days. tomorrow im changing the bedding from aspen to cypres mulch. I also got a uth and a heat lamp with a dimmer attached to it from him so im ok with that. Ill be snake supply shopping tomorrow tho. I think ill name him/her Lava since ma 3 (almost 4) year old girl is Ice!! More pics soon to come

Good luck. You seem to be doing great with ice so I am sure you've got this one covered.

Poor thing. He should've given him to you for free. Any idea what caused the burn on his back?? Also, he's really small :hmm: Between his 6th and 7th spot... is that stuck shed or does he have a little kink? Fingers crossed that he'll eat for you... Good on you to rescue him :)
Very nice snake he'll look better in no time

Ditch the heat lamp, they're more trouble than they're worth for a bp.
