Heres my new girl Savannah!!!

Hi as some of you know I got a new snake on Saturday. My mom named it savannah. I dont know how much it weighs but its a heavy girl! She is in quarantine for 3 months. Do you think 3 months is to long? She is a WC and hasnt ate in 6 months atleast thats what the guy told me. I paid $50.00 for her and I think it is a steal because I know I can get her to eat. The guy I got her from wasnt housing her right. He had her in a 40 gallon breeder and used analog thermometers and had a light on top as the only heat source. He said he tried feeding it rats, mice, and gerbils, live and F/T . I think he might be offering to big of prey because it seems like the snake is very hungry. She has very good muscle tone still and just a tiny bit loose skin but nothing to worry about. She has been in captivity for 8 months now. How long do you think I should quarantine her for? Also she has a vet visit on the 29th because it is the earliest they can get her in! I am 99% sure she has a URI as I herd her weezing. I am also going to get her treated for internal parasites even if she doesnt have any because she wont poop unless she has a meal in her. I will also have the vet probe her but the guy said he had her probed and it turned out female. I also believe it is female but I just want to make sure. I will stop my rambling and show yous ome pictures!!!

I hope you like them !

Good luck with her.

she is very pretty. :blossom: i hope you can get her eating well for you. good luck at the vet--let us know how that goes.

cute :) GL!

I think a 3 month quarantine would be the minimum you'd want to do for a wild-caught animal that you already know has an infection of some sort. If I were in your shoes, I'd get her to the vet and get her all healed up and THEN start my 3-month countdown. :)


Good luck with her! She's pretty and I hope she eats for you soon!

You know what that does sound like a good plan get her all fixed up first! Thank you everyone. I need to order a thermostat now atleast a better one like a helix control.

Poor gal! She has a lovely pattern though, can see it best in the last pic. :) Good luck getting her all ship shape!

Thank you everyone and I will do my absolute best to get her in tip top shape. When should I try feeding her next?

You did her afavor...I'm sure she'll be healed up in no time with your TLC!!

Thank you 4thesnakelady! Also She always lets her gold mine out if you know what i mean. One time though it was a little bloody. I will have the vet look at her. What do you think i should try feeding her and when?
