Red face I got a big surprise yesterday...

...when my fiance picked me up from the train station, there was a big cardboard box on my seat. I said, "Uh-oh, what'd you buy now?" He had just been over to our friend's pet store to pick up crickets for the geckos, and Dave (our friend) had told him that when he came in to open the store for the day, he found a filthy, uncovered 10-gallon tank sitting outside the back door. In it was a tiny, emaciated blood python covered in stuck shed. He gave the snake to my fiance, because he knew we could help it recover. The little thing is so sweet! Its spine is prominent, although there is good muscle tone, and the stuck shed came off with a good soak. I am hoping the little one makes a speedy recovery! I haven't determined its gender yet- I am guessing male, but I won't know until we probe it and I'm not going to put it through that stress until it gets some weight back on. I've got him/her quarantined in my bathroom, in a 10-gallon tank on paper towel. I've treated it for mites with Nix- I couldn't see any on it but I wasn't taking chances, and when it poops I will have the vet check for parasites.

Anyway, here is the new little one:
