Got a call this morning

I hope Cheese pulls through. Great name ;). I don't understand... What percentage of people have the internet at home, but these bad pet owners can't take 5 seconds to google 'ball python' and go oh crap maybe I should put a bowl of water in there, heat the tank, etc..

But looking up information is WORK! *gasp* Why should someone work for something as replacable as a snake?

Evening update; Cheese is snug in his tub in a far corner of the q room. He actually had enough 'umph' in him to check out his new digs before curling up directly over the flexwatt.

And yes, the photos were after I took out a whole bunch of that crap. You see the photo of his left side? Imagine that goop forcing his mouth open far enough it looked like he had a ping pong ball in there and protruding about half an inch beyond his head.
It was nasty.
I don't know how the people could go in and out of that garage every day and not care about his suffering. Luckily they didn't sound like they were getting any other animals.

hope he makes it through all my snake prayers go out to cheese :) and thanks for taking him in. we all know he's in good hands. looks like a road to recovery. his scales in those pics look aweful :( gl

Oh Stangs, sorry I didn't answer your question. I personally call it cheese due to the fact that it looks like messed up brie cheese. It isn't solid, it's just very thick nasty goop and I do mean NASTY. Ug. I have hand gel set up in every room now, I have been paranoid about washing up after doing anything in the q room so I suppose it's for the best.

Just an update on Cheese. Shed on the 25th, a whole perfect shed and how he managed that with his previous care is beyond me.
No more 'cheese' at the mouth, he's doing good all things considered.

Glad to hear he is doing better.:)

I have never seen a snakes mouth in that condition before.

Great News!!! :carrot: Any new pics?

great news!

After his first day with me of being dragged all over, his mouth held open and dried (and new) goop being removed and getting a shot as well as having a photo shoot I've left him alone. I want to stress him as little as possible, give him a better chance of beating this thing.
I do promise pictures in the future though.
