Some of you may remember Salt last year, my lone male LTR. Brother to Mark IsBell's (gonesnakee) Yolk, from these photos.

This snake is responsible for setting off an interest in leucistic texas rats in Canada with his gorgeous little face and adorable little eye. Well at least I think so.
Anyways, Salt escaped a few months back. I was pretty heart broken, as I had just recieved Flour and Sugar, my females and sold Yolk, not too long before.
Anyways, two nights ago he appeared just before I started my shift. He was quite thin and shriveled. We gave him a drink, he threw a bit up. We put him somewhere safe and quiet, and a few hours later we soaked him for three hours. It did him well as he filled out. And I was able to remove several retained eye caps. He feels weak and a bit stiff feeling, but last night he ate a pink, he was eating weanling/hoppers before he went AWOL.
So here are some pics I snapped last night.

He doesn't look so bad, but he feels funny, and he doesn't look as full and healthy and shiny as before.
Anyways, he was gone for a number of months, at least three, and I'm just glad he's back already. I can't wait to get more of these guys!!
