I picked up a 1.1 pair of baby ball python's last week for really cheap,I wasn't sure if it was a pair or what kind of shape they were in till I got them home,for it was dark in the room they were in,an the worst hit me dead in the face.They had really bad RI infections.So I called the seller an told him an he asked me what I wanted to do an I said I would try an get them better but if not we had to work out somthing.Well the one started showing signs of getting better an then the 1 took a turn for the worse an died.The other is still holding on but not sure of the outcome?I called the guy up an told him an he told me he didnt have access to any more ball's,but he had a female boa he would just give me.So I said ok that was kool.Well this is what I got.She is a bit under weight an has been attacked by rat's at 1 time or another an had some swelling around a bite on the upper right side of her mouth,But with treatement the swelling has went down alot an she shed,so their is no eye damage like I thought their was.I know what I believe she is,But I would like some more opinions for I am not up to date on these different locals.The flash really has messed with these pic's,an my great camera skills,Will try to get better pic's without the flash later after she adjusts to her new home.I appologize for the length of this post an appriciate your help.Thanks Eric[Hypoboa]
