Scott/cumbrian_eejit put me on to this one and after various emails with the vendor and a quick trip out, arrived in the madhouse on Sunday.
On paper: CB05 / rising 4 years old, stated male on A10, not microchipped yet (should be by law) and ONLY 20 MILES AWAY, GREAT!! 
In reality: possibly CB07/08?, may be male or female (as i'm certain the paperwork doesn't relate to this particular snake), about 3ft long and the size of a yearling cornsnake, in a mahooosive 4ft viv, and feeding every 3 months (i wonder why??)  the CITES A10 paperwork is out of date as it needs renewing stating the microchip number at around 15 months of age, and obviously needs microchipping still.
I just felt he needed to be rescued  although he wasn't the boyfriend for Marilyn i was looking for. but feeding 4 times a year? how can you leave a little snake to that kind of life?
he's now in the 2.5 foot viv that i was going to move Queenie into shortly. i'm hoping the smaller enclosure will help get him feeding more regularly as he must have been stressed to hell.
pics will follow shortly, i took some when moving him from transport RUB to viv but photobucket is currently offline but should be back later. |

Well done on the new addition, he is absolutley gorgeous...whats his name?
You could call him James, after James Dean and then you would have Marilyn and James.... |

And of course some pics:
You just can't tell from the pics how tiny he is!
I'm liking either James or Kennedy for names........... but still undecided.
He seems to be settling in well and has been out and about round his viv the last few days. |

| thanks matty but to be really honest he's not got best markings i've seen (look at the top pic, the lowest coil around my wrist) and his colouring is quite plain, high pink and high orange are particularly desireable! |

| I think you should call him Lorcan or Merrick. Vampire names are the best |

| He's a handsome little chap. Nice one . Why not name him James after Jim Carey? Now you've got two of them they could be Dumb and Dumber . |
