Concinnusman-- It was actually up in Tumwater, just south of Olympia. It's rather upsetting to hear the situation isn't uncommon. In Man Ray's case, the kid dumped it on his parents when he moved out of state, and it was the father that gave him to me.
Gorgeous snake, by the way. Glad he's doing well for you after his ordeal.

Zooplan, I hope your girl bounces back and does well!
