I picked up the "rescue" bp today (which is a re-homing and a sort of rescue...). This is the one that's 5.5 years old and smaller than my yearling. She's very friendly because the owner took her everywhere. She was being kept in a small terrarium - the kind you'd use for chameleons with the screen all around - so naturally humidity was practically non-existent. She had one "climbing tree" and a large waterbowl. That's it. When I got there the snake was curled up under a papertowel. The owner said to me, "I don't know why she does this. Whenever I put a paper towel in there she goes nuts over it." I just replied, "Maybe she likes to hide. " They said that when she was younger she was having such bad sheds that she had to have part of her tail removed. Go figure.

So anyway, I put her into a tub with TONS of paper towels and newspaper for her to hide in, as well as two normal hides and some foliage and a water dish. She's supposed to eat tonight so we'll see. She was eating a rat pup every two weeks or so, so her new schedule is a rat pup every 5-7 days. We'll see if we can't get some weight on the poor girl. Here's pictures:

Remember, that snake is 5 and a half years old! Just because it makes me so mad, here's a photo of my baby (1.5 years):

And my girl that's 4 years old:




Anyway, moving on:

And does this look like a retained eye cap to you all?



Oy, I'm gonna need some good luck on this one...
