I pick up this little girl for $20.oo off craigslist last night... An Albino California Kingsnake... She has health issues that he didn't point out until I drove an hour to pick her up... I almost did get her because of it but I could leave her with him... He seemed like a nice enough guy and all, I just don't know if I can trust what he told me... He said he had taken pictures of her, {and he wasn't 100% sure it is female} posted them on a snake forum and I guess they all came to the conclusion that it was a fatty deposit caused by over breeding... It feels liquid filled to me... The two puncture wounds he said he hadn't seen them before... They look to far apart to me to be from her biting her self... Now he had another common Kingsnake he was also sell for $20.oo which I never took a look at... My mistake... I never saw the habitat because he brought the snake out from the back of the house... I wonder if he had them housed together and she had been bitten by the other one ... He told me he has had the snake for about a year and he has no idea how old it is... He said that she has had this problem every since he's had her...
I don't mind tell you I was a little disappointed on the drive home last night... I'm a little OCD on the the health of my animals and to start off in the hole doesn't feel comfortable to me... Like I said I almost turned her down because of it but I knew I could give her the best chance at a good life... The only reason my wife took her foot of the "snake brake" is that she was only $20.oo but now I might be looking at vet bills... I was starting to have regrets when I fell in love with her this morning...
Anyway I'd love some feed back on her health issues... Here's a video of her...
