Rescue: Ball Python

[CTReptileRescue]

Another new addition to Rusty Reptiles today is a 25 year old female ball python.
Owner had no time or room available anymore.
Claims that the animal is a probed female and is definately 25 years old



She has only eaten live mice. Statement made about her feeding was that "we would have to put a live mouse in and she will not eat it right away. But that we need to leave the mouse in for two to three days and only then will she eat it".
We'll have to see about that.

She is very pretty. How is her disposition and overall health?

Thanks guys. I of course cannot confirm the age but Winslow and I wonder. She is off to the vet tomm, so I can give you guys her stats then. (Our scale is broken and we haven't been able to raise the funds for a new one, and I am so lost without it!)
She is an average medium sized ball, as far as balls go.
From our initial work up she seems to be in good health. Her blood and fecal exams will be done tommarow, but her general check seems to be good.
I can fill you guys in a little more tommarow after her appointment.
Thanks
Rusty

I was hoping her head shots would show that off. I also like the mocha on her head.
Thanks

She's a beauty. I love the blushing on her head. It looks like a bottle of Crown. (can you tell it's the end of the week?!)

[hoo-t]

I think it looks like an apple. But then, I don't drink Crown.
