    She is a rescue found in the woods. Not microchipped and no one responded to the ad I posted about her on craigslist.

    Looks like a normal/common BI (was BCi) to me.

    That's a heck of a find.

    If she's been out eating wild rodents she likely will need to be treated for internal parasites.

    How's her attitude?

    Crazy that someone lets an animal like that just go free in the woods... good for you though I guess! Does it have wild behavior?

    Looks like a nice clean normal bci, fat for being abandoned, maybe it wasnt out long, or maybe there was a big rodent population in the area it was left (was being the key word).

    It's crazy--she has a very sweet temperament. I found out about her through a local Herp Facebook page and inquired, learned that she was in the woods behind a neighbor's house, and that it had been several hours since the lady who reported her last saw her (!), so I raced to her house, and the snake had only moved a few feet from where she was last spotted, thank goodness. She is massive, and her nares have healed shut from an old injury to the tip of her snout... But the vet says she is otherwise completely healthy, and actually ideal body mass. I thought she was overweight but apparently she's good. She's as big around as my thigh--I'm guessing she was eating possums and cats!

    Anyway even though she was in the wild, she ever struck at me. She hisses quite a bit, but zero aggression. Poor thing. :(

    Skin appears to be good with no obvious signs of external parasites but I'm waiting for her next poop to test for intestinals.

    Either she's a lot bigger than the the photo makes her look, or you have extremely skinny thighs, or I'm fat. Lol

    She is a lot bigger around than My Chaco who has the same water dish that's what I am judging the size on.
