New rescues sad sad pictures be warned

Update:4-21-11
Ok males scale rot has gotten a bit worse. Called the vet to send him pics and he said keep up with Betadyne baths but we shouldn't go right to ab's. He's Filled out a good bit and has now taken three separate meals. He actually hasn't missed or refused a meal. I've got him in a beta dilute bath right now. And except for this slight case of rot he seems to be doing well. No poops yet but a few urates. http://tapatalk.com/mu/47a99751-d257-3809.jpg

The female:
Alright the girl. It really freaks me out that she still could become
Gravid. The bodies first defenses are to shut breeding down. But as she puts on weight I'm a little worried she will ovulate. And I'll lose all that good weight. Again she has never misses a meal. And still hasn't pooped. But she's expelled urates as well. She now a bit more feisty, especially as I'm writing this she's in the bath just hissing and hissing away. I see no signs of scales rot on her. Which I'm very happy about. Nor do I see any signs of the impending Ri that I thought was coming. So I think as long as she doesn't become gravid on the very near future I'll be happy.

The male in his bath today expelled a urate that is about as big around as he is. I've never seen a urate that large. No poop yet but that may have been blocking things alot. At the same time I removed 2 very stuck sperm plugs. It looks like his hemipenes are much less swollen now.

You'll probably see some real improvement on the scale rot when the male sheds next. They look much fatter--good luck.

That's what I'm hoping. Its hard to keep it humid enough for him to shed but not too wet to promote the rot. Pain in my butt. But they seem to be doing better. Much more active then they have been with me. It's good to see them feeling better.

Poor guy, I bet he feels a lot better after getting rid of that uncomfortable thing!

They already look worlds better than they did, and I'm so glad the female seems to have dodged the RI.

Please keep us updated, I really feel for these guys.

Ok so after the shed. His belly looks perfect. Which means it's was a few stuck sheds that were dirty and yucky. There's no sign of anything in his belly anymore. Whhooo hooo! They appear to be slowly gaining weight and are getting more accustomed everyday. It looks like now we just have to get them up to a healthy weight.

Looks like they are doing great. Nice work :)

I am so glad that you did this. It gives me faith that there are still good people in the world. Though the conditions they were in and the fact they were probably just going to slowly die while that woman watched makes me lose it again. Good luck and I look forward to hearing more about their progress.

you have a reptilian green thumb my friend, gj

Thank you thank you. All of the Herps I seem to bring here seem to thrive and go on to producing cute little ones. I'm an OCD type of person with everyone's husbandry. But it's nice to see the gradual changes the rescues take. It's also really nice to see how just a little love gets the job done.
