Re: Recent CT Reptile Rescue *pic*
Thanks for everyone's nice comments.
The original owner did have experience with other snakes such as milks, corns, a ball python, garters etc. She did grow up with her parents keeping and putting on educational shows with reptiles. I guess this was some time ago. She had never personally cared for an RTB and maybe wasn't ready is all. (I'm not defending but I won't bash either) I do know she did what she thought was best with the lil girl.
The only thing that was bad (really unacceptable) was the cage had a copious amount of mold. She had a "dry hide" and the other corner had a few handfulls of store bought moss. Under the hide and under the moss was an extreme amount of mold growth.
She was transported in her enclosure. I think the only reason for the mold was towards the end the orig. owner she didn't want to go into the cage. (I've seen this in a few other cases). You can't tell there is mold untill you really lift up the top layer of bedding (or if you're me because for some reason I'm ultra sensitive to the smell).
We were concerned first off for a respitory infection. Luckily she is free and clear.
Well another long post, just forgot to add the extra mold situation.
Thanks
Rusty
