>>Was that nose rubbed that much when you found it?

Yes, the nose is rubbed pretty raw. Mostly that was because the person who found the snake kept it in a bucket overnight before bringing it to me. Besides the small injury under the eye that you can see in the picture, there is a much larger injury under the other eye. The tip of the tail is missing and it has several small cuts and punctures along it's body. It looks like it got into a fight with an ill-tempered shrew, small rodent, or most likely a small feral cat a few days before it was found as those injuries were all scabbed over. It also has a few older scars from encounters. You can see one such scar in the first picture. Lower left coil... that orange pigmented line shows the lower part of the scar and you can see the messed up scales above it.
