How important are proper temp readings? (and resulting projects)

Very happy to have people like you out there. that snake is probably more than grateful for your time.

I so hate treating burns. Looks quite mad now but they heal so very fast. If you don't have any flamazine (silver sulfadiazine) try to get some it helps tons! It is a rewarding job doing rescues but by times it gives you nightmares! I hope she (why I feel that all unsexed snakes are female. I can't say but any unsexed snake is she in my mind anyway) heals well!

It is supposed to be a female. She was healing fine with regular triple antibiotic ointment, so I just kept up with that.

For an update, she had her perfect shed #2 today, and it's healing/scarring great!

How's she looking?

Here's one last update after another perfect shed overnight. Scales have grown back over the scarred areas, she's taking F/T small rats and doing great!

You've done a great job! Thanks for documenting her recovery, i hope someone gives her a permanent home

Yup. That would be me.

I brought her back for adoption at the beginning of this month and even did a presentation on it. No luck. There were seven ball pythons up for adoption. None went. That's why I stopped breeding these guys several years ago. It seems, at least with our area, that we're very over saturated with ball pythons. Morphs even come up for adoption. I got a female super pastel as an adoption - she was skinny with stuck shed. She's a big snake now, but will never be bred. There are more than enough others floating around. I wish more people would realize that these are usually long-lived animals and shouldn't be gotten on a whim. They require a commitment. I have some normal males that I produced a time ago trying to prove out a female. They re permanently in my collection - they take up space and I have to feed them, but they are my responsibility because I produced them. Oh well...

Thanks for your dedication!

Best of luck on adoption.

Wow. Saddens me that someone would let their pet get like this. I personally freak out about my snake but that might be because I'm new. Definite props to what you are doing that's really cool glad there are people out there that are willing to help our scaled abused friend.
