Thats a good sign.

Did you witness the capture, or was the snake bought from local hunters? Was it fed local rodents?

Hope its doing well.

No I didn't see the catch it was caught by one of the Indians I was with in the early evening. The guy who caught it was hiking thru the jungle when he came across it.I was out along the river catching emeralds.When I came back to camp they told me they found a bushmaster I was like yeah right but there it was.It ate a white rat for me the first time I tried it.Usually they suck and don`t do well. Honestly I think they should be left in the jungle.Anyway I`m hoping this one makes it.I really don`t even like to take these but a close friend of mine really wanted it so.................
