Just picked up another rescue... Now I am not one that normaly throws around the "stupid" word but I am starting to wonder.

I know lots of new-bees take bad advice from clueless walpet shops... but come on! this is the third rescue in a row with the same story. This one is a 2002 geourgous 4 foot reduced girl that weighs 800 grams.... Nothing but BONES and scales!!!

Of course I asked him what he fed and how often, and he quickly and proudly replied "one x breeder mouse every 2 weeks or so"

This snake looks like skelator. How can you own a snake for six years and not be curious enough to read up a bit? This thing is rediculously skinny, and this guy honestly did not have a clue. He thought it was the most healthy ball ever. If she just filled out to normal size, I would say she would be at least 2300 grams.

took her home and before even putting her in her permanent home tried to feed her.... Normally I wait at least a week before trying to feed but she looked like she was starving. She took 3- 2 month old ASF's back to back to back. She probably would have taken a 4th and 5th, but I did not want to overdue it.

I just don't understand how it can get this bad. How can you have a snake for 6 years and not read up at all? I would venture to say that anyone, even somone who never saw a ball python before would think she is skinny.
