Surgery on new rescue

we had to take off approx, 5 inches or so, and sadly, he isn't a he anymore. We know he can still have his normal "functions". But he is snipped none the less. The muscles pulling up the hemipenes (sp?) and 75% of the tissue around the organ was necrotic. So it had to be taken off.
He is still awake and "bitey" today. All in all good signs.

good to hear!! I really am hopin' for this one. Wow! you're up early! And I'm up late... I'm off to bed (had to read a book and write a book report and didn't get home from work until 10:30pm )- oh and to any readers out there - read "Hardball" by Chris Matthews ... REALLY cool book on the inside game of how politics is played or just PM me and I'll send you my book report lol.
ANYWAY
I'm glad he... or it rather is up and about and bitey! sorry to change topics... I'm just a bit delerious... see you in the morning!

Rusty, I was really more concerned with bowel function than reproductive because it more directly affects the snake's health. It's terrible that the tissue went necrotic but good that he can still pass stool and urates normally.

It's good to see that he's active. I'd imagine that he used to be a docile snake, but the nippiness is a result of his being fed up with the treatments that the girl was administering. If I were her I would have just been understanding and a bit more careful with dealing w/him. But luckily, there are awesome people like Rusty who rescue these guys when their owners fail them.

Hey guys,
Here is two updated pictures of stitch..lol

It amazes me how well he recovered. His facial features are very defined also. I wonder what he is exactly. I just sum them all into common boa..
I wonder if there is a definate way to tell.
Any suggestions from you Boa lovers?
Thanks
Rusty

Couldnt tell you what locality he is, but he is one heck of a looker! Glad to hear he is doing well :)

Stitch! another clever name......he looks great!
