Another Ball Rescued!
So I been tryin to talk this girl I kno into giving me her python for the longest. She brought it for her boyfriend but he got locked up and shes so scared of it, she wont go near it. It hasnt had any water since his dish evaporated forever ago, he hasnt ate in 3 to 4 MONTHS! the tank is disgustin, no heat source at all. just a snake in a dirty viv with old sheds, no water and they keep the AC in the house on all day!!
Well last night I convinced her to finally give him to me over Facebook. it was 1 oclock in the morning and I was gonna go get him then lol but she wanted to sleep. So i got up this morning and picked him up. I gave her 25$ just because. Hes about 4 to 5 feet long, a normal bp. Hes looks really skinny for his lenth to me but i will work on him and pay close attention. First thing I did was check him for mites, none visible to me and i looked really close. But i cleaned his whole tank out, brought a new water dish, hide, i had an extra uth and a dimming lamp wit an infared bulb. I figured in a couple months his weight should be back up a lil. I put cypress mulch beddin in there wit em and im carving him out another hide right now! Just wanted to tell you about my experience! Please let me kno if its anything else I should consider checking or just anything. Thanks for reading! I think Ill name him Lava, because the one i named lava was suppose to be a guy but it was a girl. This one is indeed a guy!! So Lava it is!!
Also I offererd food and he ate it about 6 hours after he got back in his viv. I couldnt resist, I kno he was hungry. I just didnt offerer anything bigger then his girth(think thats how you spell it) so it wasnt that big, cuz hes skinny but I want him to gain because hes a nice looking friend.
