Female Albino Burmese, likely het granite looking at the pattern.

She is now nicely filled out and pushing close to 12 feet in length now since taken in as a rescue a few months ago. Was around 10 feet long when we got it. Her face/nose was a mess from living for several weeks in an unheated dog carrier and rubbing on the bars. Also had rat bites from the previous person just throwing live rats in with the snake in the carrier. Previous person had actually rescued it from a guy who was just gonna set it loose right before the start of winter, but then got overwhelmed by its size/lack of proper cage space for it herself. Her face has healed up quite nicely and no respiratory problems developed at all.

Kudos to you for stepping up & keeping one off the street (so to speak) and getting it back into good condition!

Thanks for caring & sharing!

Have a great day!

Imagine that....just setting a snake like that loose when it got to be too much for him.

Imagine that, the reality of it - Three people did the right thing by not setting that snake loose.

...worse...note the authors name...hmmmm...

To be sure, to be sure...but how many snakes get dumped because of a lack of a lucky safety net in the form of people willing to take them in?

That there even are rescuers is a cause for praise, but the fact remains that there are still keepers out there who are willing to simply dump their animals.

I'm all for looking at the bright side, but it's a little naive to ignore the negative side, don't you think?
