Hellooooooo!
New to snakes, old to other herps, actually just frigging old.
I had a call from my vet on Monday who was upset to have to euthanise a beloved chameleon of mine that I had rescued, and who just lost the will to live, despite diligent care and medical treatment. A teacher at a special needs school had brought in a ball python who was receiving inadequate care from one of his students. The vet nursed her back to health from extreme dehydration and malnutrition, and wanted her to have a good home, and thought of me, so we collected her yesterday afternoon.
Always wanted a snake, and ball pythons come highly recommended, so I was very happy to have her, as was my youngest python-obsessed daughter who nearly exploded when I told her the news.
I'll post her care details for scrutiny in the appropriate forum, but wanted to say 'HELLO' here first!
So here goes...
HELLO.
