Tim, It sounds like you have done a wonderful job so far with this girl. I am glad to see a good update today. I have been thinking about her. Best wishes to you both.

Holy moley! What an awesome snake daddy you are!
Most definitely keep up the progress reports.

BTW, does the liquid band aid seem to be holding?

Tim, you best give us regular updates! There's a whole bunch of us prayering and hoping for this little snaker. I can't wait for the post one day showing her beautifully healed belly. :)

It also appears that she may have some bruising ahead of the hernia (at least I hope it is bruising, as it could be internal bleeding, but I don't think so), but looks well overall. She is starting to look a little dehydrated from being in a dry environment, so I held her head near the water bowl while supporting her body, and she stuck her head in and appeared to drink for about 20 seconds. I did get to see her flick her tongue today, and watched her for quite a while to see if she crawled normally, as She normally stays in one spot. I put her in the front of the tub and watched her crawl to the rear near the heat, so that is fine as well. Since the wound appeared to be drying nicely, I went ahead and put a small amount of Neosporin on it today, to help with infection and protect the wound. I will keep up with the updates as long as anyone wants to read them.

Sincerely,

I'm so glad she's still doing well for you!

Tim, a little trick I learned on Utube. They'll take water from an eyedropper (or syringe)! Nothing wrong with how you did it, just thought I'd throw this in, in case you wanted to try it.

Please, keep updating us on this one. There's probably more people interested in this snake's well being than any other!

My kids came to visit me once when they were little. My daughter brought her hamster with her. I noticed that the hamster was losing a lot of blood. The amount of blood in its cage was such that I didn't know how the hamster was still alive. The three of us sat on the floor holding the hamster and prayed our hearts out for that little creature. The next morning, the hamster was fine, no longer bleeding. It lived for about another year and a half. Prayer works!!!!

Wow; your work with that little snake is admirable. I am glad that this was a good update. I hope that she continues to improve :)

The Liquid Band-aid appears to be holding the knot in place just fine.

No worries everyone, I'll definitely keep up with the updates. I didn't realize everyone was as concerned as we are, but I definitely appreciate all of the concern. Another update to come this evening.

Its wonderful to hear she is doing well. I couldn't stop thinking about her last night. You have Super Snake Healing Skills Tim!:D

awesome story man (and such a beautiful snake)
good job :)

Good luck with her. When I first started reading this post I was not expecting to see anything as bad as what your pic showed. I am wondering if you may run into a problem if the wound is not pretty much totally healed by the time she goes through her 1st shed.
