Ummmmm...wow. First off, welcome to BP.net!: I think you've found the right place to get the help needed...but it may not be exactly what you want to hear.
Second...is there a reason why your cousin doesn't sign up and get the information first hand?
Third....if I'm not mistaken, that is a reticulated python (tigerstriped morph) and it will get HUGE! It is not a snake for first-time snake owners! Before we can help much, we really need to know what's going on. Does she have any idea what she has? What kind of enclosure does she have set up for it? What plans does she have for it to grow to monumental proportions??
