New Girl... not in the best of shape.

Hi all.

I picked up this sweet thing last week. She is a 7-8 year old female. Very small for her age.

As the pics will show, she is scarred and in rough shape. She has rat bites the length of her body, including her spine. As well as scars from escaping a sceen top enclosure, and burns from an unregulated heating pad.

RI, mouthrot, and stuck eyecaps.... just for fun.

The worst part is her tongue has been *shredded*... it does not have forks, just split flesh and is about half of what it should be. Looks like it was chewed off.

But she is a BP and as such is the sweetest tempered snake I have met in a few hours... :P

She does not have a name quite yet... so far I think I have only addressed her as "Sweetles"... :D

I think she will do fine. Just needs a bit of TLC (AKA vet care) and she'll be good.

She took a tasty ASF and seems to be digging that action, so we are good to go. She only speaks French so we are limiting ourselves to the basics.

"Souris pour vous?"

"Salut Sweetles!"

"Bonjour mon amie."

Thanks for looking.

Bruce

That poor girl! Glad she is in good hands now. It's pretty amazing how a bp with such a crappy past can still be a sweetheart.

X2. Amazing:gj:

where did you get her in such bad shape?

It's always nice to see an abused animal find a good home especially when they have a sweet personality despite the abuse. Keep us updated on her condition.

She is an absolute love this one. I think she will be a nice little lap snake when her time comes. :)

She was on Kijiji... I have been following her progress for close to a year.

She is engaged and attentive, so that is 90% of the battle. I think she will be an easy rehabilatation.

And updates are always mandatory. :)

Be sure to ask your vet if there is anything you can do to help her with the scars on her back.
Also IF you are planning on breeding, please ask the advisability due to her scarring.

She is a huge and pretty girl though

Good for you for helping that girl! She is very pretty and looks like a sweetheart.

Congrats to you both in finding each other. She obviously needed a great home and you certainly have it.

Wow poor girl! Thanks for taking her in. Thats more than amazing of ou! I hope she blossoms in your care!
