    Wow what a handsome boy! Do you have him on paper towels right now to see if he does his business ok? The vent looks better, but still not great. Keep up the good work.

    Re: Found snake in yard

    Kat, yes. Been waiting for rain here for what seems like over a week. Threatens to with no result. The ground is so dry I can't even dig for worms right now. Along the side of my garage today I found what looked to be a very young snake just dead. Didn't seem to have any wounds so maybe just starved??? I went to a bait shop around the corner from where I live, dozen large earthworms for $3. I feed this guy 3 of them minus what I cut off one for Butterscocth. These things were bigger than my snake in width and longer than her when fully stretched out and crawling around. SO now that I know he has eaten a good meal that dinner will have to exit at some point. I'll keep working on him and hope the vent clears up. So far so good.

    Also, when I was talking with Steve on the phone I had shared with him that even though this was a recovery mission, sort of, there are no plans right now to keep this guy....., just get him on the mend then release. Damn he is good looking though.

    Good job. You know that by the time he's healed up you may have grown attached.

    Yep, she is the best. Not that it took this to know, but she just proved it yet again when the woman who will have nothing to do with snakes let Butter come in and stay. Then she let this guy in to be fixed up. Although this young man is big enough to give her the creeps.
