Ballchris · 05-11-15, 06:21 PM

here she is not the best pics she is in the quarantine tank and due to me not having a bigger enclosure right now i have ordered 2x T70's from ap cages radiant heat panels herpastat's I am so happy to introduce (no name suggestions are greatly appreciated) not the best pics in the world but here she is.

Also her conditions she was in was not ideal they only wiped the tank out with water never sanitized she was not on substrate did not have belly heat or any heat she was feeding live ill be changing that she does have a scar on the underside of her head were a rat bit her

im making her a vet appt next week after she settles in. im so happy i got my unicorn i thought being here in ky ill never get a burm but now i have one.

she is my bed room right now 2 room away from my other snakes for safe quarantine.

Gorgeous. Ilove the look of normal burmese pythons. If I had the room and the guts I'd so have one. Kudos for the rescue.

Very nice looking burm Chris. I'm glad you found her and I'm sure you'll give her a great home. Now what are you going to name her? How about Cersei?

Just be careful, man... She's a beauty. Just worry about ya suddenly addin' all these giants when you've only been herping 3 months. Be careful, please. Always ask questions, you don't want to make a mistake with a burm or a retic.

I am never alone when handling my giants, there is no need for concern. they are in locked enclosures, with only one key and its on my key ring my reptile room stays locked I have took from my homework tip and tricks and adapted them into in case of emergency measures first aid kit are on hand, as a third person is always there my father in law that has kept hots all his life and a few giants.

Dave Alot of my homework has been taken from here, and also talking with thte pros I love the fact that I can call BHB or prehistoric pets and brian or jay will talk with me give advise on anything correct me when im wrong. I read article after article the best way that I have always been into getting into something is just to do it, am I condoning going out and getting your self a retic or burm No I am saying it works for me that's it. dave i always look forward to reading your comments buddy, your snakes seeing there pics are the reason I fell in love with the giants. but that just the way i work always have and always will as I said I am very very careful with my giants well there not so giant right now but he will be my burm shes a big girl already. lol
