It is unfortunate. The only thing that I can say is I think that at least their heart was in the right place and they were attempting to do a good deed... not that that really makes a difference to a suffering animal. They did give her to me for free though, which means that I now have the money that I was prepared to spend on her to use for a check-up with some fecal smears. She is currently in quarantine. I want to get a little more weight on her before I do my normal rounds of ivermectin and PAM. I may even just take her to a vet and let them do a smear without using ivermectin first just because I'm not sure if she has liver damage or not. Either way I want to get a little more weight on her before I do anything else! Good news for her (bad news for me) is that she is eating every rat pup that I have!!!

Poor thing.

reminds me of the fire female I picked up. Some moron was cooling her for breeding at 600 grams, she had dropped to under 400 when his "friend" snatched her up { as opposed to beating the snot out of the man } He had her with him at a show and I saw her. He really didn't plan on selling her, but I was persuasive and he was very kind. I got her for a song, and she started slamming rat pups like they were going out of style. I ended up naming her Mori, because that's all I ever got from her for 6 months, "More ? More rats mommy? More? More?"

She packed on 500 grams in what seemed like no time flat, then she went on a little fast at 1000 grams. She brightened up so much, she looks like a different snake.

Good for you for helping this unfortunate little baby, I hope she does well for you, and who knows, maybe she's cut of tougher cloth and will come away undamaged.

My fingers are crossed for you and that beauty :bow::bow::gj:
