A snake came into the vet where my girlfriend works in very poor condition. They werent sure exactly what it is though. They said it looks like a boa or python and the guy said he bought it as a sunglow snake. I cant imagine it being a sunglow boa as that is a lot of money to let a snake get this bad off. Any other sunglows you guys can think of. Its definitley not a corn. Sorry, but im not sure of the size. Thanks for the help.

Wild caught sunbeams are fairly difficult to acclimate. I had a pair a few years ago that refused every thing i tried to feed them. They refused meals for over a year, I finally donated them to a friend's collection who got them to take frogs after a few months and then to fuzzy mice.
