Re: update on boid the western sovel nose rescue.
Noone with a shred of humanity freezes prey animals whilst they are alive - they are normally gassed/killed first and THEN frozen

Yep. Saved him from a camel spider. His primary diet is large crickets and meal worms.
I haven't yet found any WSN snakes foe sale. I've been actively searching for another in hopes of a breeding pair. He/she is amazingly tame and loves being held more then anything. Likes to try and burrow in my beard haha.

Cool snake.
Super hard to find captive. Like years between specimens up for sale.
Also, it's sad that you interrupted nature's life cycle. You now may have killed that camel spider since you took, not saved, it's meal.

Yeah, that may have been the case, if there wasn't literally pounds of bugs blown in from the storm under our security light. But yeah you know best.

Upset the local ecosystem some more.
I thought we were for conservation not predation of our local flora and fauna?
Still cool looking snake.

Re: update on boid the western sovel nose rescue.
Quick question for you folks.
Its been a while but boid has been doing well until today.
Its been ridiculously cold here this year, I went to handle boid today and he is incredibly lethargic.
Slow motion if any at all. He does have adequate heat on half his cage but tends too stay on the cold side.
My question being, would this be a sign of hibernation perhaps?
He was eating veraciously for the past few weeks, at least one large cricket a day.
Hope there is nothing wrong with him!
He did have a small bit of shed clinging on, so I soaked him in warm water which seemed to make him move a bit more.
Any feedback is great.
As I said he's been doing very well, the only thing I can think of is the cold temps.

Re: update on boid the western sovel nose rescue.
Little boid gave me quite the damn scare. No idea what his issue was but he's back to his normal self, thank god.
My mom died in a tragic single car accident November 21st. While going through some photos for her memorial I ran across a photo my step dad took of her with a "Cali king".
Turns out it was one of Boids parents.
Now I know its weird, but because of this photo I've grown an even more emotional attachment too the little guy. Gave me quite a scare today!

Re: update on boid the western shovel nose rescue.
Are you seriously giving him crap for saving a snake from a spider? What's the matter Aaron, you bored? Not getting enough attention lately?

Wait, do you mean you somehow know it actually is one of this parents, or do you just mean it's of the same species? I'm a little confused. Still a pretty cool coincidence though.

Dude, that was two months ago. Two months. Who's the one not getting enough attention?

Re: update on boid the western shovel nose rescue.
Ah, yes I did miss the fact that the post was old. My apologies, Aaron, for sullying your good name!
Now if you'll excuse me, there seems to be something nipping at my ankles...

Re: update on boid the western shovel nose rescue.
It IS one of the parents. He/she lives in the roots of my neighbors tree. Too close to be a coincidence.
I'll post the photo later of my mom holding Boid's parents.
