Jen just be very very careful bringing him into your home. BCI's can carry things that will kill your BP's and this one has obviously been through hell, poor thing. We kept unbelievably strict quarantine when we were rehabbing Sonja (aka Rauri) not even allowing the BCI to exercise in any room a BP might be in at a later point. It's awful that this person did this to the snake. I hope you, your friend or a reptile rescue can take the time to help this snake out and find it a wonderful forever home like we were lucky enough to do with Becky.
