Re: Rescue
Thanks  never really wanted a "normal" but he sure has personality! He is fitting right in...my daughter loves him and MAY take him once he is gaining weight accordingly. He is still super small...less than half the size of my female the same age...

Re: Rescue

Re: Rescue
They do, but this one had a super bad start at a pet store and then a teenage girl keeping him in terrible conditions. I tried to help her but she was living with her "girlfriends" parents and they wouldn't fund her pet so she begged me to take him. drove him to my house in a snowstorm. How could I say no?  he really is a doll...now that he has hides and proper heat and humidity there is no aggression at all...and only 1 refused feed while he was in full blue (understandable)...

Re: Rescue
I will admit I don't have much experience with balls, I thought he looked pretty good in the last pics you posted.

Re: Rescue
is he skinnier than he should be for his length? Or just smaller altogether?

Re: Rescue
both...my pastel and him were apparently purchased at the same time...and when I was there, they all seemed the same size...petco was feeding them 1 f/t mouse fuzzy a week, which is insufficient...the girl was feeding accordingly (or trying to)...he is shorter and weighs less the mine when i bought her and that was back in november...she is closing in on 300g and he was 118 when we got him...he hadn't pooed since then so no new weight for him and he just ate for me so will be a few days at least before I can get a good weight again...but he has pounded down the food except for when he was full blue, so I don't see the issues she had except for bad husbandry...I provide what he needs, so he apparently is doing well...

Re: Rescue
yet when I had a snake that was at least 2.5 times smaller than average for its weight, you told me it didn't matter and that I was hung up on size. I'm confused how this is different

Re: Rescue
seriously? this one SHOWED obvious signs of not being healthy! that rat snake looks healthy, just on the small side! its spine is NOT showing, it does NOT have stuck shed all over it, and it is comparable to others of its age that are just slow growers! BP's should NOT look like this at this age! two TOTALLY different species, and two TOTALLY different cases!

Re: Rescue
Jesus Shar, it was a simple question. You told me how it bothered you about people giving you crap on here for you opinion. Then you snap at me for asking a question.
I didn't know the snake you have showed so many outward signs of being unhealthy. That's why I asked you why this situation was different.
No need to get all worked up over it
