Shalgon as some of you know is an oddity.
Among his oddities are:
1- more docile than a slipper Texas Ratsnake
2- Leucistic with orange "lucky scales" popping out
3- cross eyed
4- has a rectal prolapse and went through surgery for it...
And a fifth oddity I noticed not too long ago... he has a very long tongue, so long that sometimes when he retracts it, the tips get stuck outside his mouth.
I managed to photo that today:
I won't be breeding him again(I did when he was younger, I didn't know the full extent of his defect- but he sired 13 offspring which were sold by the owner of the dame)... I have a feeling he is a product of one too many inbreedings... but he eats well, calmer than any given furniture item of your choice, and is simply cute.
So... here's one snake I have just for funzies
(he also really just loves doing nonsense, like trying to fit into his water dish. I don't allow him to because he has a tendency to stay in it days on end and actually cause himself harm- he once caused himself scale rot)
