Busy day...

With these newest rescues, the frogs can be adopted out, as long as none of them are in any danger of "special needs".
The burmese pythons on the other hand either stay with us or designated places, IE institutions that have the training to deal with large pythons.
Right now luckily we are not at our limit for permenant burmese pythons. When that does happen any sick burms that come in are rehabilitated by Rusty Reptiles and then placed into said designated homes.
The corn snakes once up to good health will be adopted out. The female albino already has an approved home she can go to once she has gained more weight, and has a clean bill of health.
Thanks
Rusty

Sorry for the bad quality photos and bad lighting. I will try to take better ones once these guys settle in more. You will see photos of the sores on the larger one. these are for our files, Just thought I'd share
Thanks
Rusty

And here's the first image (you forgot the / Rusty)
https://ball-pythons.net/modules/cop...08/Cnv0197.jpg

It's harder for me to tell with the second one, but the first one at least definitely looks in very mistreated shape, dehydrated and way underweight. It looks like the second one may not be as underweight as the first, but harder to tell with the lighting and positions.

Maybe we could start a campaign with these types of images...take them around to all the petstores that so eagerly sell giant pythons to whoever has enough money...and say "THIS is what is happening to these snakes!!!"

Thats a very good idea judy. Your a wonderful person Rusty

Thanks guys, Yes the larger burm is haveing more problems today, It is the saddest thing to pic up a snake and put it down on the floor "up side down" and NOT have it right itself on it's own. Back to the vet shortly for that one.
The second one isn't that bad off at all. (thankfully).
Thanks for fixing the picture!
Hey if we all go around to petstores and do that to people, we can have them "adopt" a starving snake, if they send me their money i will send them a picture of the snake each month..lol

Rusty, I hate to hear that about the bigger burm, but I can't say I'm very surprised. It's clearly been treated badly for a long time. I am glad the second is in better condition. Good luck fixing them up. If the neuro symptoms have just surfaced, you may still have a good chance of saving the big one, so I'll definitely be thinking good thoughts for you.

Keeping fingers crossed here!

she is doing better today, her strength seems to be up.
Thats a good sign.
Rusty

Thank God for people like you Rusty! If I ever become a vet I'd like to volunteer at a place like yours. (That's a big part of the reason I'm trying to get into vet school)
