My new ball!

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 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

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