Long story short try check out the DENT on the top of its head.

Shame man.
The fact that he made it is a miracle.
Good to see the fella is flickering the tongue like a healthy snake.
Has he eaten by you?
Good on you.

Yeah this snake is doing really well,
The dent is a result of it being beaten on its head with god knows what.
Infact it has escaped since ive had it and i found it again..in my shoe cupboard :P
Yeah and he is eating a rat a week actually :)
Ill try get a better side picture the indent in its head is actually amazing it survived.

Snake was a wild snake, so difficult to say age wise, is filled with "battle scars" though.
Snake is about 85cm.

Nice snake though. Think he earned a home with me for good.

Sometimes it's amazing what sort of injuries snakes can survive. I'm sure you'd know by now if there was any terminal damage. Interesting photo.

Does seem to be any terminal damage just superficial scars and the dent.
I know its not a great picture was just trying out my macro filter/fisheye filter.
