Burmese size/growth question

Oh, that's so sad that he's had such terrible treatment in his past- I don't think I'd rehome him either. That's how I ended up with a BCI many years back- but her abuse was mental rather than physical. I hope he does well- he's got a great care team on his side now. I once took in a chronically-starved snake whose skin tore off easily in multiple places- some people should just never own an animal.

Thank you Caitlin for such a heart warming and sometimes heart wrenching story on this Burmese python. From the identification query to the sloughing of his skin and everything else including the points from the BP.net members. It’s been a pleasure to read through this thread. Thanks again.

That condition is called slipped skin disease and snakes can recover from it.
