Marley the rescue BP *pictures*
This is Marley, the BP I posted about. I drove 30 miles today to rescue her. She was very dehydrated and had backed up sheds on her, so I soaked her for an hour. It removed all the shed (pictured below), and she drank for a long time..so hopefully she's already feeling better. She was housed with no heat, no hide, and on cedar substrate in a 20gallon tall tank with a wooden lid (no holes for vents). She is now in a 4ft long wooden enclosure with three vents, two hides, and a big water dish for drinking and soaking. She is very calm, but she has had no heat..so that might change. She is skiddish around her head, which is normal and fine, but I'm hoping to open her up a bit. Here are the pictures:
*note the beautiful tail stripe! 
The backed up shed that I peeled off of her with a wet towel.  Hopefully she'll have a better time shedding from now on.
I am going to let her rest and get used to her surroundings for now..and then Tuesday I am going to try feeding her (this is the day that I feed all of my other snakes).

Great rescue Kristina. That tail is stunning. I'm apalled at those backed up sheds and poor care. I'm very glad that the BP is with a caring and knowledgeable keeper now.

It warms the cockles of my heart to see people like you doing such wonderful things for such mistreated snakes. Keep up the good work.

Beautiful BP kristina, I'm shocked that that poor thing endured such poor treatment. Good for you for taking such good care of her. Good luck with her.
