Someone gave me their snake, free of course. They said they had the snake for 6 years and needed a better home becuase ever since they had a baby, the snake was neglected. I was expecting a long snake if it was indeed 6 years. not even fat but at least somewhat thick. i saw the snake and she has stuck shed all over her. I weighed her and she is 547 Grams. 6 year old snake is not supposed to be that low. i popped and she is a she. at least i think but i will double check later. She is on small rats and was fed once every 2 weeks.
I took her a nice bath to get all her shed off, She was not scared and she kept flickering her tongue really often which made me happy. She even let me touch her head and rub her chin.I looked inside her mouth for any respiratory infection but nothing, i am still going to keep her temps high just in case. No mites from what i have seen. She looks and feels as thin as my 8 month old ball pythons.
I put her in her new home and she didn't even go inside her hide, she has not even coiled up, so i put her head in the hide in hopes she would go in. 20 min later she stayed in the same spot i put her. So i coiled her body and placed the hide on top of her. Poor thing.
Well, this is not a BP but my V day gift that i found in my chocolates. ^_^ her name is squigglette!
