Well, the snake is doing fine. He's eating frozen/thawed with no problem. The hoof cream took the worst of the glue residue off and then at the insistance of some coworkers the peanut butter treatment got the rest of it off (they thought that suggestion was too funny and I shouldn't ignore it). Elmer (or Skippy as some others are now calling him) shed his skin last night though I had to help him with a few small patches today that were a bit stubborn. Far as I can tell he's as good as new. The scales don't appear damaged though I did see a trio of scales about 1/4 of the way down that looked to be slighly pigmented with speckled red and not an actual wound or anything. I don't know if that's normal for him or if it is something related to the glue trap incident. Tomorrow he'll be getting another meal which should make him happy.

Looks to be about a year and a half old maybe 2 years old at the most. If I can get ahold of the digital camera at work I'll get pictures tomorrow (co-worker absconded with it all week for a daycamp program) otherwise I'll try this weekend for pics. He's actually quite mellow and sweet tempered for a wild snake. You'd think he was a pet corn snake the way he's content to sit curled around hand and wrist and just watch the world go by.

The reason mainstream thought is thought of as a stream is because it's so shallow. -Unknown

It really does work.

>>It really does work.

It did seem to have had some effect. Of course this was after 3 days of treating with the hoof cream. The day after treating the snake with the peanut butter he had a white granular residue where some of the peanut butter I didn't get off had dried up.
