Busy belly

This is Chomper, he has a crazy busy belly and my hubby thinks there is more to him than just being a "normal". He is super light also. Here's a little background on him... He is a rescue from an uneducated owner, Chomper was left alone several times with a rat and became a chew toy several times. When I got him, he was covered in scabs and had an RI (which is being treated for now) All his wounds are healed, mostly except for a couple. So let me know what you think....

This was the day after we got him, and right after he shed

Good job saving a life! What a nice black belly on him too.

I'm glad chomper found a better home!

Cool belly pattern. Thanks for saving him!

Glad he has a better home. Cool belly.

Holy cow, poor guy. That belly is really cool. I've seen a few snakes with a belly like that, but it was scaring from an old burn.

I have seen bellies like that before and most of them were scars... That one does not look like a scar at all... I would honestly dink around with it and see what happens...

Nope not a scar at all. In fact his belly is the only thing that doesn't have any scars. I plan on putting him with my girl that has a completely clean belly, after he gets a clean bill of health :)

Her belly:

You lucky bastards! :D I think that's a Black belly. http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/black-belly/
Throw a pastel at him. You can make a Yellow jacket: http://www.worldofballpythons.com/morphs/yellow-jacket/

Looks like chomper was once the chompee :(
Good thing he's in a better home! Would love to hear how he progresses with that RI recovery. My girl gave me a scare for a while before I realized her "whistling" was shed in her nostrils/vents

I think he will always have a wheeze de to the injury on his face but it gives him character lol. His RI is being treated with meds and all the symptoms are gone :) just need to finish out the meds and he's good to go

This was taken the day we got him, but as of today the swelling is gone and its not red anymore

Awe poor thing! That looks painful, I can't say enough how glad I am he's in better hands. Congrats on the new addition and happy herpin! :D

Oh my gosh. That poor baby. Glad he's doing better!

Poor thing... People should be tested before taking on the care of another living creature...
