I had a feeling about that. I've had around 30 snakes altogether but had to find homes for them all except this one. I kept him because I've seen how people would let them go to skin and bone because they didn't want to feed lizards. When I got Wally he was only a baby and would eat pinkies. As soon as I tried a fuzzy he spit it out and wouldn't go back. I tried everything short of offering him a beer with it and still no go so for the next 11 years it's been only lizards.
What I found odd is that this one doesn't like the heat. I have him in a 60 gallon terriarium and he will always avoid the warm side. I have an undertank heater and will only use the above light in the winter. He hates it. What I have also found odd is that usually he cuts back on feeding in the winter. He never stops completely like my kings would do, but this year he's been going at it as if it summer time. I do notice the poop looks different as well. The tails of the lizards are not digested, and the poop looks, as you put it, partically digested. By the way ... I took a beautiful very large black Mexican king to the vet once and she stood across the room from it, barely touching it with the tip of her fingers as if afraid of it. She said she knew about snakes but no way. So, I'm on my own. How would he pick up such a thing when all his lizards have been frozen first? Thanks for your advice.
