Baby Sozo, Ball Python Rescue...

OP, hats off to you for taking the time to rescue that poor baby. I suppose it goes as far to show what happens when you dont do your research - for any animal. Im glad you were able to take her out of those conditions, shes a very beautiful little snake underneath all that stuck shed. I wish her best of luck, keep us updated!

I would get a vet to look her over for sure, if you haven't set an appointment already.

I will say right now..dont mess with eye caps. Get het to a vet now. Im dealing with an eye camp issue now and it is surgery. Just get her to the vet and save time and also heart ache and money. If you think they are stuck get to a vet. Of is easy in the beginning....not so much later.

And tha k you for rescuing that little baby!

Unfortunately I want to inform you all that Sozo is no longer with us. While it seemed, and I had hoped that she was making a turn for the better, I found her deceased. Maybe it was wishful thinking, but she did seem happy on her last few days. She was more active in her enclosure. Wandering around. Drinking water. Watching what was going on around her. But she never did weigh even 200 grams. So I don’t know that she ever had much of a chance from the beginning. I simply hope that I gave her the best life I could during her time with me.
Thank you all for the encouraging words and helpful advice. While a sad situation, I am still very active in the reptile world and look forward to much more activity here on the forums in the future.

I'm so very sorry that all your good intentions and care didn't have a happier outcome. You did your best...unfortunately it was too late to undo all the neglect
she suffered before she came to your care. Thank you for doing all that you could...there's just no way to know unless you try...at least someone tried to help.
Rest in Peace, little Sozo...:tears:

So sorry to hear of that Sozo did not make it. At least her last days were being well loved and cared for. Thank you for trying to bring her around.

Edit: I wanted to add that taking on rescues can be a real challenge. It says a lot about the type of person you are that you took that on. A lot of people would have walked away.

That’s really sad to hear, you did a great joband my hats off to ya for that.
