    Ty very much for the help I will kepp you all posted on how she does tomorrow. She is a trooper I am still amazed that we found her after about a year and a half almost. Once i can get a cord from my mom I will take some pictures of Miss. B and Bratty and post them for u guys. I am really grateful for the help and will give the herp. vet a call to see when I can get her up there since it is a 3 hour trip.

    Welcome to bp.net :handshake:





    My advice would be to provide her with a warm environment with plenty of places to hide and water. Leave her alone for a week or so and then offer her a single food item. She will most likely need some time to readjust and some time alone will be beneficial. Once you have her back on a normal feeding schedule slowly start interacting again. Just keeping in mind that she has been without human interaction for a long time and will most likely need some time to readjust. There are some great care sheets and advice givers here, the best ball python resource online if you ask me. The best of luck to you and please keep us posted.

    You said you had it in a "carrier?"

    You know you should probably set it up in a proper enclosure with the right temperature, humidity, fresh water, and places to hide, right?

    Just the way you described it, I had a mental image of a snake in one of those small dog/cat carriers until you decided to take it to the vet.

    I am so glad you found her...alive. There's no better feeling than finding a lost and much loved snake. :D I hope she eats well for you. The vet will probably give her s shot of vitamins and maybe a shot of electrolytes becuse she's probably going to be dehydrated. Aside from any broken bones she may have gotten from those two :censored:S, I'm sure she'll be ok.

    Yes when I first found her yesterday i put her in a cat carrier until i could get to Wal Mart and get another tank. She had a hide that looks like a old tree stump that she has been resting in for most of the night, since I put it in her tank (that has been her favorite hide since I got her the first time). She has her water bowl and I got the heat lamp there in case the temp drops. Now everything is regulated and temps and humity r back to normal. I am surprised that last night when i woke up she was moving around her cage some and seemed to "recognize" where she was, and she has been very loving and friendly. I have not over handled her just handled her enough to get her situated back into her tank and such. As soon as the guy who is fixing my bathroom floor leaves i am gonna go get some mice cuz it is feeding day for Bratty, and I think Miss. B is ready to eat she was a little dehydrated and a lilttle on the thin side. I also called the herp. vet to see when i can get her in and I am bringing her next week, but he also said if she seems to be moving around ok and as long as she starts eating and is consistant with it she should be ok, but he will check out her blood when we bring her up. So I am hoping all goes well and will let you all know later today if she eats or not. Thank you all for being so kind and helpful, I am glad I came across this site when I was looking for answers.

    Ok all an update on Miss. B I fed her one mouse the other day it took her a few minutes to decide to eat it but she did and she has been moving around some she likes to stay in or around her hide because it is warm safe and secure for her. Though when we take her out and handle her she loves to get nice and close and go into ur shirt or around your neck and just "snuggle". She is doing fine and slowly but surly becoming her old self and happy to be home, each day she is looking better and happiuer thank you all for ur help and enjoy being on this site and talking to other ppl that have a love for BP's a nd other reptiles.
