EMERGENCY | My Ball Python's Scales Just Split

I've just read the entire thread from page one to here, and all I can say is: I applaud you. I am currently a freshman in High School, and what you've done for Dave is something I wouldn't be able to accomplish on my own even if I was a Senior, or even out of school. I am so proud of what you're willing to do, the lengths you're ready to go for an animal that was so far gone. It's amazing to see how far Dave has come since you first rescued him. I am extremely grateful for people like you in this world, and the story of you and Dave has given me hope for my own future of caring for and rescuing animals. Thank you.

I'm sure there'd be something you can do. Honestly, I wouldn't have gotten this far without the help of all of these great people. I wouldn't have gotten this far if Dave didn't eat. I wouldn't have gotten this far if I didn't believe he could pull through. Sometimes it just takes hope because if no infection set in, then he has a chance, right? I'm glad you've gained hope because of this. I'm sure you can rescue and care for tons of animals.

Here's Dave: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM8MwAKZ-xk

And here's his enclosure. He's now able to have a log, his old water bowl, and paper bedding:

Wow!!! So glad he's on the mend!

Will his skin eventually tighten up?

It has tightened up. It gets pretty loose when he sheds and then it's relatively normal when he's done. It's going to be a long time before he's perfectly healthy.

Congrats on your perseverance and dedication to Dave. It shows in his rehabilitation and healing. :gj:

Hello so how is he doing now ? Any new updates

Wow, I just read this start to finish. What an amazing story. It's been a while since we've gotten an update, I hope all is well with Nixon and Dave.
Nixon, you are truly an inspiration and Dave surely is a fighter. You have started my day off in a truly positive way, and I thank you for that.

Nixon, if you can update we would love to hear about what's going on with you and Dave.

Also, that poem you wrote about Dave was never posted. I'd love to read it.

Oh goodness, I just read all of this, too. Nixon, you're just wonderful for caring for this noodle and nursing him back to health. Can we have an update on ol' Dave, please?

:) ?

Also just read this whole story, start to finish! I. Am. Amazed.

I'm a new BP owner as of about 12 hours ago and wanted to go cuddle with her. Obviously, I didn't because I'm letting her get adjusted and settled in but damn was it tempting.

I'm so so so happy for Dave. I'm speechless.

And I know it's been said plenty but screw Echo. Awesome people sending good vibes ftw!
