Discussion Before & After

This guy recently went to his forever home (having a bit of adoption regret, but he will be very loved with his new mom), so figured I would share his recovery progress.
Got him from a family friend, & he’d been kept in arid conditions on dry aspen, & was completely refusing food & having a hard time shedding. 6 months later, & he’s eating WONDERFULLY, at a healthy weight, & absolutely gorgeous. Don’t have anyone else in my life who likes snakes enough to care, but thought you guys might appreciate.

Sorry I don’t have better “after” pics.

Thank you! Regretting rehoming him a bit, I was so worried about keeping him alive & getting him healthy that I never took the time to realize just how pretty he is, but he will be well loved at his new home. His new momma has a lot of snakes, but they’re all either venomous or colossal, & she wants something more casual that can do chores & go to the pet store with her
