Jake Krinkle Snake update - Catherine - 09-02-2015

Jake is doing a lot better. He is doing so well that I set him up in a better tank. He likes to zoom around the tank, but of course it is a Krinkle Snake zoom. It is not too fast, but he puts his whole heart into it.

I took the pictures one after another so you get a sense of how fast Jake can move. Remember when he couldn't even lift his head and actually tied himself in a knot. I feel very proud of how well he does.
He is certainly living life to the fullest in spite of his disability.

He is looking so good, Catherine. It just goes to show that they all have the ability to reach their potential, whatever that maybe.
What a glorious colour he is, and what a happy life he has with you.

I can watch him when I am on the computer. He has been zooming around tonight and now he is curled up. His coils are not smooth and sleek like a normal snake, but it is sweet to see him acting almost like normal. He does have a good life. I am just glad that I could do that for him.

Jake may have had a difficult time in the past, but he is now in the VERY best care a snake could hope for!

He couldn't have found a better homeHeart

Thank-you. I wanted Jake from the first moment I saw him. I just knew I could make things better for him and give him the life he deserved. We will never know why he is deformed like that, but that doesn't matter. I didn't want his deformity to define him. Every time he does something like a "real" snake I am so proud of him.

He still can't shed on his own, but if he manages to get started and even get his eyes clear, I am so happy for him and I gladly take care of the rest. The day he crawled out of his tank and came looking for me I could have cried I was so proud of him. Knowing what he was like when I brought him home, it is hard to believe that he has done so well.
I guess when you believe in a little animal you can help them be all that they were meant to be.Heart
