That's very sad to hear... My burm is a rescue and still very small he's growing good... My second burm was a rescue as well and she just couldn't be saved, she lived less than a week after I got her... I actually cried when I got her from a former co-worker she had stuck shed was blind in one eye, covered in scars and had a HORRIBLE RI... I tried but she passed....

That sucks, sorry to hear.
I got bit the other day by Rhino Rat and let me tell you that's the longest I ever had a snake lock onto me for. It would of probably stayed there a lot longer if I hadn't had to remove it manually. I had to do this because she had lined up perfectly and had begun to try to swallow my middle finger.
I'll never try to pet her on the head again, that's for sure lol.

I'd like to say how a meeting between me and the previous owners would go down, but I'd probably get banned, and/or 76 infractions... I couldn't ever understand how someone let's something like this get so horrible. I admire you for trying to save her, and I'm sorry to hear that she passed Good job on doing the right thing.
