Hi all. My 10 year old son has 2 BP's bought from snake dealers. Our neighbor across the street found one in her garage which she very promptly gave to us. It's about 15 inches. We fed it today, small rat, which was eaten quickly. It takes handling easy. Now, about disease, anything I should look for or do? A few scales feel out of place and a few scratches. We know all the kids in the neighborhood, and everyone knows Sean has snakes, so it is not a snake from here. We feel that it was either let loose here or has spent some time loose getting here. We live in West Palm Beach, FL. Any comments or help will be gratefully appreciated. Thanks.
