This is a juvenile Grey-headed Fish Eagle , unless it is another fish eagle like the Lesser (the lack of any grey head makes me doubt the identification a bit, but it seems juveniles cannot afford a grey head yet). He was also nearly strangled by a pet python that he kept. Jerdon has also been noted as being rash.

9): The Fish and Wildlife Service is right to propose a ban on the sale of nine large constricting snakes for the pet trade. There is a list of human victims of captive snakes, including a 2-year-old girl who was strangled in her crib by a pet Burmese python who had escaped from its enclosure.
