Sorry, the link says that you must be a registered user of the site to view images, so there's no way we can see the picture. I don't want to register on yet-another site, and get even more spam as a result, just to look at one picture. Is there any way that picture can be uploaded to a different site, one that allows anyone to view the pics?

Sorry about that. I asked the owner to email me a pic of it so I can post it here.

here's the pic of the snake. if it is a green burmese then why doesn't it have as much markings as a regular burmese?

Another name for the Green morph is Patternless, the intensity of the markings will vary from snake to snake.

How did you acquire this snake without knowing what species it is?

This is not my snake. A guy on another group I am in got this. Some girl had it and wasnt taking care of it. He took it in so it would get cared for properly. I guess the girl didnt know what kind of snake it was and he must not be too good at identifying them. thanks.

LoL dont those snakes get to be 15ft or more? I may be totally wrong because in those pics it looked no more than 5ft, I also am not good with pythons. I wouldnt take care of someones snake if I cant identify which kind of snake it is and the proper care it needs but thats just me.(I know its not your snake)
