Adopted sickly python

[gplegend11]

I feel so sad for this guy.

went into a local pet store where I got my first ball python a while back. Noticed how small the python they still had was because mine has over doubled in weight since I got him.

i scrutinized and asked a lot of questions to find out that they didn't even know when they got him but it was no sooner than December, if not before that... I figure they got him in at 1-2 months old. That would make him 7-8 months or perhaps even older.

i was angry about his conditions he was living in. No uth, very low humidity, no hide, and severe eating problems.

it took over a month, talking with multiple managers, repeated phone calls, and then finally telling them I was going to contact the attorney general and report animal neglect, and they FINALLY adopted him out to me for free.

i wasn't going to pay because he is a "fancy" BP that they had priced at 120$ Which is ridiculous.

he is now safe and warm in a very secure little container and will hopefully feel safe enough to eat in a week. I weighed him before he went into his enclosure.... the poor guy is only about sixty grams!!!!

I want to say..... THANK YOU to you guys here and the help you have given me. Thanks to you I am confident I can nurse this guy back to health and give Him a happy, comfortable, stress free life 👍🏼

Btw, I got my first one like 2 or 3 months ago I think.... this is my third one now lol!

i want you guys to see these pictures but I don't know how to attach them. If someone tells me how I will show a few pictures of how skinny this poor guy is.
