i was checking craigslist for used cages and saw this guy for trade for a Ipod touch so i called as i happend to have a 3rd gen i didn't use. When i got there the owner (14 yr old kid ) said it was super aggressive and not eating for last 4 months and but had been feeding it live rats in the past . Was in a 20 gallon tank screen top, dirty water , nasty aspen , 4 x5 UTH with no thermstat and one half log hide with no branches . Kid got it as a present from some family member last summer with all the stuff set up he said and it was about 18 inches or so . The mom wanted it gone .
No other info at all about breed or CBB or year or anything except its a male . i think whoever the family member was just dropped off a snake they didn't want on the kid and he was afraid of it so didn't mess with it much. It's about 3 feet , did not weight it yet. i was able to pick him up and put him in a cloth bag with a few strikes but no bites ,gave the kid the ipod and left . At home I looked him over good and he was sorta calm then put him in a 105 qrt tub with all the correct temps and water etc , he drank alot right away , and ducked into a hide for several hours . normally i would let him be for a week or so then try to feed, but i was feeding other snakes and decided to try to offer him a rat and if he didn't take it then I'd give it to my hog island . Well he took it ! hit it good and hard and gone in 5 minutes then back to the hide . Now i will leave him alone for the week.
So any guess what it is ? i'm guessing Diamond Jungle Jag? hoping its not a coastal as i can't deal with that kind of size.
