Thanks Cendalla. He really has turned around. Looking back, I am still in complete awe that this snake came around from such neglect.

Thanks Kymberli, it is a long story but I am very proud of the snake and the way he looks. :D

I am glad I took him in also. I hated getting him out when I first brought him home because he felt so horrible. It tore me up every time I had to clean his enclosure (I would usually make my husband clean it and tell him it was his friend of the family that did this to him so he can hold him...lol) I honestly, didn't think he was going to pull through at first but after a couple months, I knew he was going to.

Thanks Anna. There are a lot of good people out there but unfortunately, we just hear about the bad ones all the time and that makes it seem like there isn't a lot of good people. His former owners were cruel to their snakes but let's not even get started on their dogs. At least their dogs could go in the woods and to the neighbors house and kill chickens for some food. The snakes were unable to try to fend for themselves. Animal control have been called on them quite a few times since and they have lost almost all their dogs. Horrible situation. This is where I feel people should be held accountable for their actions against animals.

His story made me cry, I can't imagine anyone being so mean to their pet. :tears: I'm so glad you saved him and he has a good home now. He looks great! Thank you for sharing. :)

What a great story, even though it started out badly, you did a really awesome job, I really believe that when you do things like this, the universe will always take care of you in return.

Oh my lord. I can't even believe that they crushed that poor baby. I think I'd have a hard time not doing that to them.
What a great story though. I take rescues in on a regular basis. And some have broken my heart. I know what that is. It's sad that people just Don't care about a living animal In their own houses. It scares me that people can slowly watch an animal starve to death. My last two, a pair, were starved for over 10 months because the woman didn't want to put her hand in the enclosure.
Sad. But they are in better places now. And that matters to them whether we know it or not.
Thank you

I can't imagine it either but it does happen. He is definitely a nicely sized ball python and I can't imagine him even remembering the life he use to have. He has been here for almost 4 years now and has had the life fit for a king comparative to what he use to have.

I try to help when I can. I also stop helping when it becomes abusive (I have some family that would completely abuse my niceness if I let them). I can't wait for my husband to get home though so I can show him these pictures. We haven't looked at them in years and it is just so amazing how far he has come.

Someone has to take in the rescues. While I haven't run across many rescues for snakes, I do have a rescue kitty and a rescue doggy also.

I'm so glad you got him out of there, that sort of treatment really :cens0r: me off! At least he now has a good home and seems to have forgotten the horror he had to go through.

Thanks for sharing his story. He looks great. So happy you took him home with you. No comment about the people that had him if I did I wouldn't be able to come back to BP.net :)

you did good shows what a decent human is capable of :bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow::bow: :bow::gj::gj:

Good for you to take him in and give him the chance at a good life.

It never ceases to amaze me how horrible people can be. I got a normal female in January, because the manager of my mobile home park called me up. She was inspecting an empty trailer and found " a big snake". She called me because she knew I had snakes.

I was a little nervous, I was afraid I'd find a retic or something, but instead it's a half frozen normal ball python. These people moved out of their house, leaving her behind, knowing there would be no electricity and no heat, they left her there to freeze to death.

She came away with a massive RI, but was darn lucky to even be alive. She was pitifully thin on top of it all, and because she was sick, she wouldn't eat.

Took a few months of effort on my part, but she kicked the RI, started eating again, and will be providing my husband with some spider babies this fall hopefully.

Such an amazing story. He looks absolutely fantastic:gj:!!
