That's great that the snake has a better home. I rescued a ball, from someone my husband knew (not a friend). The snake was kept in a small kritter keeper on a heat rock inside an aquarium with an iquana. She had no bedding, shelter, or water. The lady showed us her future meal and it was a small rat. The snake was the size of a hatchling and severely dehydrated. We brought her home, and when put in the cage she started drinking. Her head was halfway under the water for a few minutes. I took her head out to make sure she was okay and she immediately went back to drinking. I weighed her after that and she was 138 grams. In a six month time period she was over 1800 grams. Feeding small meals once a week. I'm hoping to get some babies from her in the future.
