| [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] Had this little one for a few weeks now forty odd centimetres of sheer terror lol. he has a strange little hood on him not sure if its been an injury or if he's just born like that all in all though he's very healthy and eats like a horse. i think it makes him uniqe anyway just htought id share with you all |

| Beautiful snake, yes, especially the right side of the hood seem stange, I think that because is a newborn maybe he's born that way. When he's relaxed can you note something strange? I'm not a vet, but may it be a ribs problem? |

| when relaxed I cant see anything only when hooded. it eats like crazy and seems very healthy so dont think it affects the snake. it is something I will keep an eye on but I think it will be ok. he's due a shed to so il see how it is after that. on the upside though it makes him uniqe |

| I believe that is due to broken rib tips. But I have never seen it quite like that. Usually it is just a spot about 1 cm or less on Kings. I know it happens when people use a noose to catch Kings. Nice animal otherwise. I like the banding and speckling. |
