Freaky day!

Well today we met up with Cueball to pick up the adorable little male BP he is giving to my daughter! He was with Mike, too, and it was great to see them both again, AND TOO SHORT again, lol. Thanks Chris, you are one of the truly good guys in the world!
I will post pictures of him soon, he needs some settling in time now.

Now for the wierd part. A friend of ours called my husband and told him of a snake in trouble. The people who had this snake were afraid of it as it had bitten them a couple of times, so no one was cleaning out the tank it was in. They had bought the snake at a pet store and were given the advice that the snake wouldn't get as big as it should if they only fed it one mouse every two weeks. The truly shocking part? This two year old 4 foot snake is an albino burmese python!
This poor thing had shed stuck all over it, and is badly emaciated. We went ahead and took it, but only to re-home it! It ate a medium rat today, and we got the stuck shed off with just a damp pillow case. The snake is gorgeous, just half starved.
I have a couple of leads on people who might be interested in taking it, so I will probably be calling around tomorrow. Pics of the poor thing to come in a bit...

wow. I eagerly anticipate pictures! :)

That's not as weird as it is absolutely awful. Give my loves to the poor skinny fellow.

Can't wait for the photos, though! Post some of your daughter's BP as well! :D

A 2 year old burm that's only 4 feet long and fed on a mouse every couple of weeks????? Poor snake! Glad you took it in, hope you can find a permanent, loving and knowledgeable home for it.

Oh, I'll definitely find a good home for the burm, it can't stay here! lol

Ok, introducing THE NEW TREY! He has a sweet face:

So good to see you today Sarah and deliver your SantaPython gift :sunny: I hope she likes him and that yall enjoy him for years to come :D

She will love him, and you already know I'm gaga over him. He has some great patterns going on, and you know the funkier it is, the happier I am! I definitely want to see if that head dot gets passed to his babies. Hmmmm, I should get more females :devilish:

Oh Trey is gorgeous and I'm sure your daughter will have a wonderful time raising him. What a sweetie our Cue is! Our little female from Cue is arriving this Tuesday and has been officially designated as Mikey's first BP (he's very ticked off "the man in the truck" never brings him a snake LOL).

Okay I know squat about burms but isn't that poor thing awfully undersized for a 2 year old? Hope you are able to find him/her a good home. I adore albino burms and really wish I could have one. I just don't know if Mike and I are ready for a giant and all that owning one entails or I'd be first in line to offer it a forever home.

Good job Chris and Sarah!:gj:

I am dreaming about my day to get a snake from cue!!


Sarah,

Get that burm on medium rats and he should take off!! Keep his humidity and temps right and he should be back to health in no time!!:D Keep him well hid so he feels totaly secure!!!

Whens the santa python going to visit my house with my het albino pair?!!!:8:

What a beautiful ball python! Cue rocks!


And kudos to you for rescuing the burm!

Jo, I think our SantaPython snakes are clutch mates, and have the same dot on their heads, if I'm not mistaken. That makes us practically family! hahaha
I know Mikey will be thrilled with his snake, Marc LOVES telling everyone about his. Wouldn't it be great to get our boys together to talk snakes? :D
And yes, this burm is WAY undersized for it's age. Jeff has been doing a lot of research on them, and I think he said it should be 8-10 ft by now.
If you change your mind, let me know! I would love to keep it too, but no way we can handle a giant at the moment.

Thanks for the advice, Justin! I wish you could see this poor snake, it's just so pitiful.

Thanks, Robin....there was just no way we could leave that burm in the conditions it was in. And you are right, Chris DOES rock!

That BP is cute as can be.

I hate to see picks such as the ones of the burm. It saddens me to think it lived 2 years like that. The one thing I love about this site is when there are pics such as those, there is always a loving person who is now set to love and do the right thing for the animal. Kudos to you and your family and anyoneone else who takes the time to care for rescues such as this.

If you have any problems with the burm you got my MSN! I could try to help relocate it and help take care of it if you want (jsut for now ok!:gj: )

Wait...So you met up with Chris today and THAT wasn't the weirdest part of the day. Odd...

good for you rescuing that burm. he looks nice in the photos but of course, that's before you hear what his age is! really gorgeous snake.

no wonder he was striking... i would too if i was being starved to death!

cue... you get 6,000,000 positive karma points!

Thanks, ya'll....I don't think we did anything anyone here wouldn't have, really. But we can definitely use all the advice we can get while this snake is in our care! And if anyone knows someone in the Dallas area who wants and can take care of it, let me know!

Jamie....Chris might have thought it was wierd when I washed his feet with my tears....? But he was hangin with Mike all day, so I bet it wasn't the wierdest part of his day, either!
