gonna try to get some better pics in a bit.

Good luck... if it's not too bad it should heal up and be good as new.

Edit: Looks like it has already started healing... I would bet after a couple sheds it will be just fine.

here is 2 more pics

will see she's been in shed since we took here in.

How wonderful you took the snake straight off to the vet, best thing in these circumstances really so you can make sure the snake is healing and not brewing a bad belly. I would imagine you'll see some quick sheds as the snake tries to heal itself. Lots of quiet time, plain soft papertowel bedding, lots of clean water and eventually some nice small meals to start off....hopefully you'll have a lovely healthy snake in due time. :)

Aww that poor baby! Kudos to you for rescuing her!

she shed!!,and all was good. :carrot: her belly almost looks 100%. she has also eaten her first meal with us :carrot: we will take some new pics of her so all can see her improvement

Great news!:)


I love to see threads that end so well for the animal - you deserve major karma points in my book.
