Recently I went to Petco just to pick up some crickets for my veiled and noticed a snake for adoption. I love BPs so I jumped on the opportunity. I checked him out and he's in decent health. He does have on major problem though,among smaller ones. The minor ones are things such as his growth is stunted due to him not eating rats,which came from them feeding him live and a scrap with a rat. The major worry for me is his half body burn. It's pretty bad and probably from the UTH being to hot because he had no thermostat to control it. I'd say their around 2nd degree burns. Some have healed fairly well but some spots are still flaky or have open sores. It doesn't seem to bother him to much but it makes my heart break. I know a vet would be preferable but we have no reptile specialists in my area nor do we have the money at the time. I'm just looking for any way to help him heal and get some what better. He's a really sweet snake despite the abuse he went through.
