I had soemthing similar in a House snakes some time Ago.

I've seen pictures of deformed young, but I've never heard of any surviving. I'm surprised he can still pass food. He sure has a nice aberrant pattern though.

thanks... i'll keep ya'll posted... even a local pet store herper/biologist doesnt understand why hes still living... but hes a trooper.
