The video isn't Goldie, actually it's Lodger. This is the male with the dirty vent area I took in. The vent area has cleaned up nice, this guy is a beast! Long by male standards that I have seen. The longer he has been with us and in treating his injury I have noticed that he has a bump/lump on the top of his body that would be the above area of the vent. Not sure what this guys injury was but it's not slowing him down that I can see. Eats like a champ, stools look normal, and is the tame one of all the snakes. The young ones, Goldie and Butterscotch can still be jumpy at times, but this guy will just sit and let you do whatever.

Re: Random Pics
Cool, glad to hear he's doing well. I wonder if the lump could be scar tissue?
Are you keeping him, or just nursing him back to health?

Sorta/No And Yes. I was nursing him back to health to release but now will be turning him over to a friend. He'll be in great hands.

Re: Random Pics
Here are the latest pics of Mama Snake. I don't have a scale so measuring weight gain has to be done with the naked eye but it seems to me that she's put on some more weight and her scale spread is getting more noticeable.

Re: Random Pics
Since bringing Butterscotch inside at the beginning of April, she's shed 3 times, but Goldie hasn't yet. Eats like a pig and getting bigger and I think her eyes are saying she'll have her first shed soon.

Re: Random Pics
Goldie is looking a bit opaque or it's from the flash if a flash was used.
Sounds like you are due for a shed though.Steve
