Rescued this poor guy from complete neglect.
I rescued this poor guy from a complete loser the other night, I drove 2 and a half hours at 10pm just to get him into a better home. The previous owner had him in a glass 55 gallon aquarium with no subsitrate, no water bowl, no hides, no decorations, no heat lamp, nothing but a UTH. The snake has a minor burn on his underbelly from laying on the glass directly above the UTH. The previous owner stated "he's a viscous snake, always biting me, and being aggressive." Well, since I got him home he's never once showed an ounce of aggression in him. He's such a sweetheart, and he's also settling in very nice! I checked him for mites and ticks, luckily he didn't have any. I'm just glad I was able to save him and bring him into a much better home, where I'll actually care for him, and not just have him as a "decoration"

Re: Rescued this poor guy from complete neglect.
A UTH is a sufficient heat source. Far superior to a heat lamp. You should continue a similar trend with this animal. Just include the substrate and the like.
Looks to be in good health.

This is what I was going to say. Just throw it on a thermostat or have a substrate that he can't move out of the way and make contact with the glass....but I'd still get the thermostat

Re: Rescued this poor guy from complete neglect.
That's a nice looking bci mate congrats on saving him. He does look to be in good condition considering.
How long did the owner have him?

Re: Rescued this poor guy from complete neglect.
Clearly....."viscous"
He prob had his first good long rest in a long time once you brought him home and provided him with a good home and good energy.
Well done!

Re: Rescued this poor guy from complete neglect.
Thanks for all the nice replies! Sorry I haven't been on here lately, but Dillinger is doing well in his new home, such a nice calm snake. The previous owner said that he had him for a little over two years.

Re: Rescued this poor guy from complete neglect.
2 years just show how resilient these snakes are to poor conditions which is a complete shame for the snake.
Look after him he is a beauty.
