Blyss

Blyss is an Albino Burmese Python. We have had her for a month or two and it's been a rough adjustment. We bought her from a local exotict pet store and with in the first couple days discovered that she was heavily infested with mites. We began by soaking her for long periods of time, with no avail. We resorted to covering her in mineral oil which has fortunately done the trick. She now however is going through probably the worst shed of her life as mineral oil causes a snake to shed. It's not a normal shed either... it's a shed where every single scale comes off seperately from each other. It's very messy!!! She is absolutley a beautiful snake in all ways. She is close to 6 ft long. Unfortunately we don't have a scale so I can't tell you her current weight. We also don't know her age. But we are sure that she should be breeding age with in the next year or two!!! I will add some more pictures of her to this post once she is out of her shed. I will also add some pictures to this post of her enclosure once it is fully finished.
