On our way to the Pittsburgh airport on Wednesday, we made the obligatory trip to Petco. During the 45 minutes spent handling the balls and BCI a sales assosciate and I got to talking about my herps - how all ten of them have me quite whipped.. Then he told me about a fully grown/adult ball python that had come in the day before that was up for adpotion.. everything free: snake, tank, decor, etc. "It's only as big as these ones," he said. And, the BPs that he was referring to were no older than a few months.

After a quick call to mommy and the necessary questioning [from which I learned nothing but that it was being fed two pinkies every few weeks] the snake was brought out.

She's no more than a few months old, has one eye cap, and her vents/nostrils/mouth/etc are all clear. Very active, just a bit thin. I was warned of some bad cage agresssion, but she's been nothing but a doll so far.

Anyway, photos!
