Lumpy Belly

Is there any way you can talk to your managers manager? (I hope that makes sense) And tell them what poor condition the snake is in and explain how badly this snake is being treated?

Such a sad situation ): I hope you get her soon!

I did that and she had a talk with the manager in charge of the snake. She was just told to make the situation better. After the snake got out of its stuck shed she looked a whole lot better so they think the problem is fixed. These are ignorant people we are talking about. But the manager is going to talk to the store manager after this weekend to see what they can do about it. She was talking about taking it back to the vet where it was diagnosed with the body inclusion.

Jeez. Keep complaining to the store manager. I can't beleive these people. Explain how life threatening this situation is to the snake. It doesn't need to go to the vet, it needs to be in someone elses care. :/ Poo on those peope!!

I am trying my hardest believe me... the manager has already complained to other associates about how annoying I am about the snake. Oh well... Thanks for being behind me and I will keep you all updated on my progress.

Update: They took the snake to the vet today... I was surprised. The vet said nothing was wrong with it ( now I will remind you this is the vet who first diagnosed it with the inclusion.). Vet said the snake ate a pinkie for her no problem and did a full exam with nothing wrong. So now the store wants to keep the snake and see if they cant get it to eat on its own. Poor girl! I kinda hope she doesnt eat for them so I can take her home. I am still tempted to buy her but I am not sure...

If you love the snake and care for it, I would buy it. It won't impact how the big chain stores operate if you don't buy the snake. Someone else will and then you don't know what kind of home she is going to.

So I went back and spent sometime with her today since that manager wasnt working. I took her out and she had the lumps still and to me they looked worse this time. They didnt seem to cause her any discomfort at all. But I have decided that I will most likely buy her.. (i am about 95% sure..lol) I dont want to but I am hoping they will cut me a deal on her and I just want to be sure that she is taken care of and what not. I will try and post the pictures I took of her tonight on here when I get a chance to upload them.

Cool, is the vet they took her to a herp vet?

No it is the same one who saw her the first time. She is a dog and cat vet but will see small animals, birds and reptiles, even though she has no certification to see them. I wonder if there is any repercution for seeing animals she is not licensed or certified to see?

If I get the snake I will be taking her to a herp vet. and this guy is supposedly a very good vet and people travle from far distances to see him.

Here are the pictures from last night:

You can kind of see the outlines of the lumps/dents here

This picture shows it a while lot better. Starts are the top of the picture with a lump and then it sinks in and then another lump and it sinks in.
