He was a gift, as a teeny stunted hatchling, for my 18th birthday. I'll be 26 in August. So he's...8. Don't let the pic fool you, he's hefty, but he's not 'fat'... not yet. I have to resist his puppy dog eyes when I do feeding rounds and he has to skip a meal. I won't lie though, he's one of my most ordinary snakes but he's very special to me.
