Another Rescue(Maggie)

The state of this girl was terribble when I got her. She has put on a lot of weight since I got her. She is going to shed in the pics. I can tell that she is going to be one hec of a looker :D

I'm glad to hear and see that she is doing better. Keep us posted on how she is after the shed. She's lookin good!

Quite a kink in that tail! I'm glad you have her and that she's doing so much better for you. Looks like you need to update your sig. :)

What causes belly rot?

I believe it's bacterial in origin, but it's associated with too high of humidity/damp substrate.

Marla that kink in the tail is just sking and bone :( She still has a lot of weight to put on, and I'm hoping things will turn around for her in the next two to three months.

Glad she's in such good hands!!

Glad you have her now, Raj. How did you come to have these two?

This one was rescued by the guy who runs the snake museum in town. He was not doing too well and I agreed to take her off his hands cause she needs a lot of TLC. The second one was at a pet store. Such a beauty and someone gave her up, sheez!

P.S I managed to make her finally eat fresh killed rats:D

Congrats on your rescue, and it's good to hear that she's eating for ya. I can't believe that there are.. morons (a gross understatement) out there who let these snakes get like that.
