While herping the wild kingdom of craigslist.com, this beauty was quite a find!! He/she seems to have been kept at the right temps and at a healthy weight, but was neglected by its previous owner at least by being provided an inadequate enclosure (probably unintentionally).

My first concern is the unshed eyecap scale and whatever is going on in this guy or girl's mouth. I was told it ate today just before I came to pick it up. Does this look like mouth rot? Any treatment recomendations?

Also, I kept a couple of milk snakes in high school years ago, but lately have focused on a small group of hognose snakes and carpet pythons. Would this be considered a Hypo or Tangerine? I haven't kept up with the Hondo world. Thanks for all the helpful posts!!! Adam
