He is an amazing snake who has never let his serious spine deformities slow him down. He has been a happy and loving snake.
He came home with me in 2010 so we have been together 9 years. I think he is around 11-12 years old.
Jake has done well. However this last month he has not been looking his best. He is not a young snake so I have to expect some signs of aging.
This is Jake now.

I think he looks much worse and he seems very stiff. I am working at soaking him and working with his spine to get it moving.
He was bad when I first brought him home. I hope some heavy duty TLC can help him.
At his age I worry. I am hoping he just needs to be babied more, like I do with Barrie. I don't even want to think the unthinkable.
