Have you had him since he was a hatchling?
Thanks! I think I do!
Yeah he already musked me really bad yesterday! They aren't called the "stinking goddess" for nothing lol.
Here's some pics of the little guy feeding. Turns out Petco, not Petsmart, had some ridiculously overpriced extra...
You are lucky! This was the first rat snake that I saw in 2 years of living and hiking in NJ. I've also have only seen one garter snake and one milk snake. It's kinda sad. I didn't even seen any snakes while I was in the Everglades a few weeks ago. I saw one dead cottonmouth on the road...
Thanks guys! He's improving so quickly. He ate a huge salad today and almost everyday this week so far. He turning into such a friendly little guy too.
Hey guys,
I'm so excited about two new snakes that I have coming my way that should arrive by tomorrow morning. One is a King Ratsnake (Elaphe Carinata) from BHB Reptiles and another is a White Sided Rat Snake (Elaphe obsoleta) from Ben Siegel Reptiles.

Re: Help w/ Chuckwalla (UPDATE: the good and the bad)
Here is a pic taken today. Compare it to the pics I posted a few weeks ago and you will see just how sick he looks. The sad part is he WASN'T eating when I took the earlier pics and now he is eating and looks worse!
Gosh, now I am...

Okay here's an update on Chuck. We have moved him into his new enclosure complete with sand, etc. While we were on vacation last week he started eating his food!! We had a vet tech pet sitting and he ate and this week we...
