    Two former rescue BP's, returning

    I will get pics tomorrow, one is Nigel/Ozymandias and Brass/Petunia now Pete.
    Nigel is my avatar pic, he was 2 yrs old, and barely larger than a big hatchling.
    Pete was a ch from a pet store that hadn't been fed or started properly before being sent to the store. And was only 20 something grams when we got him.
    He may be a granite type, but has killer blushing!!
    Nigel will never be fully rounded out due to his 2 years of near starvation.
    I adopted him out to some dear friends, who due to their own reasons decided it was best for them to come back to me.
    I have told them that if in a few months they get going the direction they want to be.. .they can have them back any time.
    They have done a GREAT job with the boyz . And boy have they grown!!

    Now the pics of big growing snakes!!

    I want to thank Paige and Tim, who adopted them from me, and though a hard decision, gave them back, I hope only temporarily. If not they are here to stay!! They did a wonderful job with these boys!!!
    Well here is Pete, aka Petunia.
    He has grown!!
    Before- The day or so after I rescued him next to a quarter, still in hatchling skin, about a year and a half ago, hadn't been fed in 2 months, if ever...

    And today


    And Ozymandias aka Nigel.
    He was 2 yrs old when we rescued him, dehydrated, and severely underfed.
    Before-



    And now 2 plus years later!

    Such handsome boys! You've done a great job with them, they look so healthy now. It's hard to believe that first pic of Nigel is an adult python, he really did look like a large hatchling.

    People like that are awful! Im so glad you rescued and fixed them up! No ball of that age should be that small! My little bella is 4 months old and at 200 grams already! Congrats on saving such sweet little lives

    Amazing how they've grown! You (and your friends) did a great thing for these little guys.

    And shame on whoever let them get that way......
