Well today we met up with Cueball to pick up the adorable little male BP he is giving to my daughter! He was with Mike, too, and it was great to see them both again, AND TOO SHORT again, lol. Thanks Chris, you are one of the truly good guys in the world!
I will post pictures of him soon, he needs some settling in time now.
Now for the wierd part. A friend of ours called my husband and told him of a snake in trouble. The people who had this snake were afraid of it as it had bitten them a couple of times, so no one was cleaning out the tank it was in. They had bought the snake at a pet store and were given the advice that the snake wouldn't get as big as it should if they only fed it one mouse every two weeks. The truly shocking part? This two year old 4 foot snake is an albino burmese python!
This poor thing had shed stuck all over it, and is badly emaciated. We went ahead and took it, but only to re-home it! It ate a medium rat today, and we got the stuck shed off with just a damp pillow case. The snake is gorgeous, just half starved.
I have a couple of leads on people who might be interested in taking it, so I will probably be calling around tomorrow. Pics of the poor thing to come in a bit...
