Hey thanks for the replies all.

As far as the size, I can't really tell how big it should be since its a little underweight, but my biggest female BP is about 1950g, and this one is just as long, obviously not as well-fed, but the heads are about the same. It's kind of sad because obviously, this is a snake that someone took care of for years and then either it not only escaped its enclosure, but also the keepers house (yea right), or someone just let it go. I don't even want to start speculating on how it got that long gash, but it kinda sorta seems like it could've been done on purpose. Like I said, I don't want to speculate, but whatever.

Frankykeno- Yea I'm gonna hold off like you said and try a pup in a few weeks. I actually don't mind if I have to feed it smaller meals for the rest of its life, a couple extra dollars on my feed bill won't kill me, even if I have to go back to mice. As far as the gash though, how would I check for an infection? I imagine the area would be discolored somehow, but is there anything specific to look for?

Jeffnme-He/she (I figured with all the other crap the snake has been through in the past couple weeks, it probably doesn't want some jackass popping it's sex organs right now, so I'm not sure of the sex) is prolly a little over 3 and 1/2 feet.


Thanks again.
