Update on my rescue.

well, Slinky is doing very well. Here's an update on her weights since I got her last December. Jan 5 - 322gms, Feb 2 - 428gms, Mar 2 - 508gms, Apr 1 - 567gms. Does this sound like a proper weight gain? When I first got her she had a bad case of intestinal worms, with a trip to the vet and some proper meds I think I've got her fixed up.

What is your feeding schedule like? As far as I'm concerned, it sounds like you're doing everything right and as long as she's eating, pooping and shedding normally, you're in the clear. :gj:

She eats a small rat every sunday. I feed all my snakes on sundays. she has been pooping regularly. When I first got her she her vent was very raw and irritated. But she had been left unattended for 7 weeks by her prior non-owners. After some meds from the vet and a couple of sheds this problem with her vent cleared up.

Glad to see that you're giving this BP a second chance at a healthy life. We need more people like you in the world. :)

Thankyou, however, I couldn't have done it without a lot of help and advice from the people on this fourm. She was in such bad shape when I got her, now she is stating to get a little fiesty. She is very light in color. I'm hoping she becomes a good dinker when she is old enough to breed.

Congratulations on her recovery. It sounds like you are doing a good job.

Good work, keep it up.

Pics?!?!?! :D

This is her when I first got her.

Sorry, won't have new pics up until next week. My other half took our camera to New York.

Looks very nice.
