Sick bp information

[/quote]I know times how hard however if you cannot afford an animal this means feeding, housing and vet care than you should probably reconsider owning the animal.

There are options for you if you cannot afford vet care, you can ask for a payment plan (most vets will do that) or you can surrender your animal.

Animal ownership is a serious responsibility that need to be considered carefully, if the animal is a burden financially that re-homing is often the best option.[/QUOTE]

i agree.

I don't like to put people down but the OP should really be ashamed of his or her self. That is a life you took responsibilty for and as such you need to take care of it and do the most humane thing for that animal, If you live in the dallas area or within driving distance IM me I will see it for FREE.

Life has no cost and is not disposable.

I agree with Jben....I know that life happens and we are all short on money at times. However you have to do whatever it takes to get this animal to a vet. Work out a deal with a vet, borrow the money, credit card, call a local breeder that may help you...whatever you have to do, clean up poo and pee for 6 months on the side for someone. When you take on any animal...you also take on making sure that you can take care of it no matter what. They are like your children.....because they are totally at your mercy.

If you dont take the snake to a vet and it does die, PLEASE do not buy another one.

And no. No guarantee directly stated

so you are just going to let it die and buy a new one? Just so you know i got a normal male baby when i was just geting into ball pythons for a meek 12$ at a reptile show. He became very sick with ri and after spending around 140$ (more then 10 times his price) at the vet out of my own pocket and im only 14 and have no job. He still passed away but i can live with that because it happenes and i know i did everything i possibly could to save him. Now this was before i had the resources like this fourm so i couldnt catch it faster but YOU CAN, you have the resources of this fourm. So please dont treat this animal like a disposable pet because if i just watched my pet died and didnt even try to save him i wouldnt be able to live with m self and would probly never own another bp ever again. If you decide to just let it die, please DONT GET ANOTHER
