We've had quite a struggle with this girl and twice I have thought she wouldn't be alive the next day. We've finally got her packing on weight and acting like she wants to live. She was at less than half her optimal weight. I think we have removed at least 4 old sheds from her and some are still stuck to her back about mid-body up toward her head. As we peeled away the dead skin her colors brightened and her dorsal pattern is showing much more white. You can see old shed still stuck to her in the pictures if you look closely. The picture below is a little dark but you get the idea. She still has two large burns on her laterals (other side) but the infection is gone. I think she is going to make it!
The good news - she is nearly 7 feet long, as friendly as she can be and her color/pattern is.......... Well, guess why we named her Peach?
