Two former rescue BP's, returning
I will get pics tomorrow, one is Nigel/Ozymandias and Brass/Petunia now Pete.
Nigel is my avatar pic, he was 2 yrs old, and barely larger than a big hatchling.
Pete was a ch from a pet store that hadn't been fed or started properly before being sent to the store. And was only 20 something grams when we got him.
He may be a granite type, but has killer blushing!!
Nigel will never be fully rounded out due to his 2 years of near starvation.
I adopted him out to some dear friends, who due to their own reasons decided it was best for them to come back to me.
I have told them that if in a few months they get going the direction they want to be.. .they can have them back any time.
They have done a GREAT job with the boyz :bow::gj::D. And boy have they grown!!

Now the pics of big growing snakes!!
I want to thank Paige and Tim, who adopted them from me, and though a hard decision, gave them back, I hope only temporarily. If not they are here to stay!! They did a wonderful job with these boys!!!
Well here is Pete, aka Petunia.
He has grown!!
Before- The day or so after I rescued him next to a quarter, still in hatchling skin, about a year and a half ago, hadn't been fed in 2 months, if ever...

Great job...nice to see people doing good thing.....
Re: Two former rescue BP's, returning
Such handsome boys! You've done a great job with them, they look so healthy now. It's hard to believe that first pic of Nigel is an adult python, he really did look like a large hatchling.
Re: Two former rescue BP's, returning
People like that are awful! Im so glad you rescued and fixed them up! No ball of that age should be that small! My little bella is 4 months old and at 200 grams already! Congrats on saving such sweet little lives :gj:
Re: Two former rescue BP's, returning
Amazing how they've grown! You (and your friends) did a great thing for these little guys. :)
And shame on whoever let them get that way...... :colbert:
