Very disturbing! Lucky snake to have chosen the right place & people to be found by!

One of the BPs I got many years ago as an unwanted rescue was a w/c imported 5' female that had a countless # of ticks all over her body. No mites, just
ticks, & the owners had her for nearly a year they said & "never realized they were ticks"! Just thought they were scales...(there wasn't many on her face
like the one above though) She kept me busy picking them off for hours... Poor snakes in the wild...they need more "free clinics".
