Mostly we get Ballpythons, Cornsnakes and Bearded dragons, other species than that is pretty rare, first bull ever. (tho he did need a lot of fixing up) Coolest snake (imo) to have been ' up for the taking' so far.

Really a pretty snake! But I can't help but laugh at his little face, reminds me of Grumpy Cat, looks like he is scowling rotfl!

**Tsubaki** · 12-26-15, 11:30 AM

Haha

he does have a very grumpy face!

Pits have some of the meanest looking faces. They just look mad all the time. But you can't judge a book by its cover.

wow! that is one asome snake with attitude! I would keep if it were available.. you should.. the color and eye thing is super!

Just an update on Sebastian, i can not say anything other than the original plan had always been for him to be re-homed, and i decided to stick to that plan. Even with this being one of the coolest rescues to have ever come through here, and having been amazing to work with.. I should not start keeping snakes i rescued, who also don't fit my plans/preferences, just because 'i can'.... I would never appreciate him to the fullest, and i noticed that very much in the short time he has been here. Once i got him fully healed and did not have to medicate him anymore, my interest faded as it simply is not my kind of snake. Good sign it was time to find him some place where he would be appreciated for how awesome he really is.

If i had not find him a guaranteed better home i would have never let him go. But when my colleague visited and fell absolutely in love with him.. Destiny happened. He is now living in a large display tank prominently in his snake room, and both snake (whose name now is Hyde), and the new owner seem very happy. Here are the last pics i took of him before he left for an amazing home! I'm trying to convince my colleague to join here so he can update about Hyde

I realise not everyone might agree with my decision, but i am convinced it was the best thing to do.

Tsu, that is a beautiful reptile. I think looking at his varying patterning and differing eye color, and overall coloration that he may fall into the chimera category genotypically. Sorry to see him go and i hope your friend get the chance to update us on his progress. he is a very handsome pit.

Sylphie · 04-10-16, 01:37 PM

I would love to take him myself, haha! Glad he found a good home, and you're right in your decision. You shouldn't keep anything that's not really what you want, as like you said you won't enjoy it as much as you should. Thank you for posting his pics, and well, I hope that his new owner will join us shortly

**Tsubaki** · 04-10-16, 01:52 PM

Thanks both! I hope he will join us on here, he is not much of a forum person though

macandchz · 04-10-16, 02:18 PM

dear tsubaki, i think he's a great looking snake and you should keep him. they say things with 2 different colored eyes are good luck! don't give your luck away!

bigsnakegirl785 · 04-10-16, 05:40 PM

The best decision is the one that makes you happy! At least you'll still be able to see him, eh? Beautiful boy, sorry to see him go from the forums, but he's in a good home now.

**Tsubaki** · 04-10-16, 08:57 PM

Thanks Bigsnakegirl, yes unlike most rescues i will be able to catch some updates about him now and then, and im sure he has a nice home

He's not here anymore

and was not mine to begin with. He was a rescue that came in at the zoo i volunteer, i took him home over the holiday period because he required intensive care and monitoring. I was free to adopt him, but choose not to. (If i adopt all the rescues that come through, id need a waay bigger house) He deserves a home where he's fully appreciated, i shared him here because i was considering adopting him, and because he was very cool looking. But that wouldn't have been the best option for him. thanks for sharing your thoughts.

You did the right thing Tsubaki - you fulfilled what you saw was your duty in nursing him back to health and you've made sure he's gone to a good home.

It's much more than many would have done...

**Tsubaki** · 04-11-16, 12:15 AM

Thanks Danny, I'm sure a lot of people on here would do the same given the opportunity and funds!
