He is a cutie. We had a greenish ratsnake named Pokey cause that's what he was Pokey. Always had to get into everything. Very calm snake aside from the fact he was sooo fast. He pass to the RB over a year ago now. He was handled on a daily basis and one day we felt little lumps all over him. Which was strange as he didn't have them the day before. We made an appointment with the vet for the following day but he didn't make it that long. He passed away during the night. We took him into the vet anyway to see what it was and to make sure the other snakes and reptiles as well as any of the other animals and people in the house couldn't get it. The vet said he was poisoned. He said it came from the mouse he had eaten 3 days before. Apparently this mouse which we had gotten from the pet store frozen. We didn't feed live. Had poison in his system and when digesting the mouse the poison absorbed into his system and poisoned him in return. Poor little guy didn't know what hit him. I am not a big snake fan but my brother is a reptile specialist and he has always had them around so I kinda grew to like them and no matter what they are living being and don't deserve horrible deaths.
