Meet “Squish”…. She is a female Albino Burmese Python.
Given up after a nasty divorce and wife and children couldn’t handle the animals…Or so was the story (you can never really tell sadly)
She came in with 2 Ball Pythons (I will do my best to post pics of them also). They all came into rescue on 6/8/09. My camera has been very tricky and their intake file photos did not stick sadly. (the 2 balls were housed together, in a 20 long tank, approx 10 yrs old and the burm was also in a twenty long…. Horrid, algae in water dishes sheds from months ago..just really a sad state of affairs.
She was so emaciated and covered in so many mites. Our DVM and us were so worried she wouldn’t pull through (it was the equivalent of watching a 4 week old kitten become anemic and pass away from a flea infestation. I do not mean to be gruesome. Just the best way to explain it.
Anyhow this is a photo of her after a nice rat dinner and hopefully no more mites.
Man I hate mites you guys would be amazed that here at the rescue we rarely get mites.. and when we do we always have luck that they don’t spread.
Isolation and vet care is key.
Anyhow, thought I would share… We are all just so happy she made it. (it was definitely iffy for a bit).
Well sorry for the ramble but it ws like Christmas when she ate earlier
Sincerely
Rusty
