Mojave Rescue: dehydrated and URI

I'm glad to see he's doing well!

It was awful nice of you to go to the trouble and expense of helping that snake get healthy.

I hope he returns the favor and makes you some nice little mojos some day.

Good job!! :)

Boy he sure plumped up nicely, didn't he ?

It's a pity he had to endure those things in the first place and here's to the day no snake has to, but very good of you to give him a fighting chance.

I saw an ad the other day on my CL for a sick ball, but this fool wanted $75 for a badly sick normal. I offered to take the snake and treat it, and was told that snakes that size are worth money, and despite the fact that it has been sick for over 2 months, there was no way I was getting the snake for free. :rage:

I spent an hour typing out some choice things to say to this looser, but by then I had calmed down and didn't send it. I did tell them it was nice to see money meant more than an animals life and that I felt sorry for any kids they had/would have.

He's looking great! Congrats on getting him turned in the right direction. :gj: He's a beautiful addition to any collection.

What lovely story! Glad he's on the mend and gaining weight :)

Wanted to update you all on this boy. He has been doing excellent and putting weight on steadily. He is at a healthy 800 grams. Here is an updated picture down below:

great story and outcome. glad to see the 300+ gram weight gain. Just curious, if you don't mind, how much the procedure cost you? I'm in Canada, and not sure if the vets here have much experience with snakes, and RI or even URI. Thanks!

Great job with the Mojo Javier...I think I was actually offered that same guy around the same time, glad you took him on. And I'll 2nd your recommendation of the Animal Clinic of Morris Plains...I'm very comfortable going there should I run into a serious problem(knock on wood).
