I'm sorry, but "don't worry about him looking fat"? A fat snake is NOT cared for, it is overfed which is just as bad as underfed. Of course I am going to worry about it. Fiddle stix on him being a jungle. Sigh. I'll put him on a light diet to get him muscular instead of chubby and keep him to one adult mouse, he does not need as many feeders as he can catch in an hour, which is how he was formerly fed. Put a person in a room with an all you can eat buffet and they will overeat everytime, so will snakes. I got the impression they gave him as much as he would eat in a sitting so he would get to breeding size faster. When I got him I asked if they were sure it was a fair trade and they actually said:

We already bred him, he's nothing to us.

Now that is cold. Thanks for the info on what he is. Now I can label him properly for my records.
