A Rescue of my own (pics)

I was given this animal by a good friend Bill Parks.. He is a Miami firefighter and they get calls on snakes all the time . When its BCC involved he knows exactly who to call She was the ugliest thing in the world when he found her and had a gash on the side of her throat about 8 inches long and extremely deep. She was found in a really crappy neighborhood so i can just imagine how that gash got there.. Bill patched her up with some medical tape and after just her 1st shed it was closed. Its AMAZING the things these animals can go through. And how fast they heal.. She looks to me like she might be a Guyana BCC.. I really didnt care what she was when i saw the tail on her .. And after a few sheds shes even showing some nice color. A HUGE Thank You To Bill for giving me this animal.. She was a bit wierd acting at 1st and is now as tame as a puppy. And has eaten 4 times in the month , month and a half that ive had her ... Again Thanks Bill ... Hope you guys like .. Koky

Good lookin' little girl! I love rescues, my absolute favorite boa is this big, scrawny, ugly, scarred girl I picked up at the beginning of August. She's dog-tame and putting on weight like a champ(downing jumbo rats weekly) and is in shed right now... there's something so great about taking in those 'last chance' snakes and having them turn around...

....The ladder tail on that little girl is wicked. Good luck with her and may she produce many with that tail in the future
