thanks everyone.
@snakeguy101, i'm not working at a zoo....yet! i would love to one day but this was sent to me by a friend that works at an animal shelter somewhere here in SoCal. This poor guy was wandering the streets in the rain and was picked up.
Looks reasonably healthy, so it probably wasn't out there long; it's good to hear that you guys got it and can give it a good home now!
