Unexpected addition

Poor snake, my heart broke when I saw that crumpled eye and the sad enclosure in the first post. So glad to see that he is already looking much better and I hope he will make a full recovery with some TLC. Thanks for rescuing these animals :)

How is the fish doing?

Everyone’s doing really well! I had to take my Hognose into the vet again so I brought the new bp too, she said don’t even worry about what’s left of that burn, it’s pretty well healed. The vet was a little curious at first, like why is this snake injured and so thin until I explained where he came from.

Hasn’t shown any sign of an RI since, did pass some pee and urates, he’s taken two mouse meals so far. A couple more and I’ll offer a small rat instead. He’s hungry and willing to eat but I don’t want to overload him too quickly.

The fish have learned I’m food giver and stopped hiding. I think I’m going to replumb my empty 135 gallon and make it theirs. For now they are in a spare 20 gallon in the reptile room.

Up 50 grams so far not that you can tell and passed urine/urates twice, very feisty little guy.

He's definitely looking better. Nice job!

I can’t imagine leaving a pet behind. It must take a special type of :cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r::cens0r: to abandon an animal like that, basically sentencing them to a horrific death. Especially a snake that can’t get out of a cage. They can go so long without food that their suffering could last a very long time before succumbing to dehydration. I have 9 snakes and have a different relationship with each and every one. I couldn’t part with any of them, even my my derpy carmel albino that a shady breeder sold me. That damn snake doesn’t know up from down. But he eats like a champ, he sheds, he poops, and he is super friendly and amazingly beautiful. I named him “Jethro” because of his lack of book learnin’!

He's looking better and better with each photo :) Glad to hear the fish are doing well too!

I wish all left-behind snakes (& fish & other pets) were as lucky as these were...:gj:

Overdue update!
