Hi ,
a while back I rescued a nearly 7' male BCI that had been abandoned in a appartment downtown . He was under 7lbs on arrival and has a major RI along with a calcium defiency . He was on antibiotics and being tube fed for the past few weeks . The RI is all cleared up and ate a f/t rat today He is also gaining wieght like mad .

I would just like to thank you for all your kind comments and support that I recieved in previous posts .

It is great that you were able to take him from such a poor life and for lack of better words bring him back from the dead. He lucked out in life and I wish you good luck with him. My rescue is by far my favorite snake.

It makes me sick to see what some people do to their "so called pets" People need to realize what they are getting into and do research before they buy, then things like that may not happen.
