"Rescued" a group of ball pythons, have a few questions.

What an INSANE experience. I mean, wow. It's really great that you were able to take them in like that though... poor things wouldn't have to stood too much of a chance with ol' boy. As soon as you started describing that smell, meth is exactly what popped into mind. :/ Growing up in a not so good part of town opens your eyes (and nose) up to all kinds of uncouth knowledge, like what cooking meth smells like. :rolleyes: Sad but true. Other than the RI issue and the overall craziness, it sounds like you kinda made out like a bandit. But I guess it just depends on if it was worth the hassle to you OP. lol :gj:

I am glad they are in good hands now and improving. I saw when you first posted and thought drugs but missed the part where you talked more about it. For the future I believe you can contact your local police station and they should be able to send out an officer to tell you if it is in fact drugs you are smelling. I know a few years ago there was stories circulating of people buying used cars not realizing they had been used to make drugs and when the new owner left their dog in the back seat while they went into a store the dog passed out from fumes, I never saw an actual report but that was the nice version. Just be very careful in the future and don't risk your health! If it gives you a headache from the smell it's probably not good for you. Sorry for the rant, bad history with my sisters friends who reeked of crack, they literally drove me out of the house when they visited.

Third Update:

The snakes are doing very well now. Everyone ate on Sunday with the exception of the little Mojo with the RI. He is improving steadily, barely any symptoms anymore so I have high hopes he'll be over it soon. One thing I cannot get over is how much water these guys drink. I have to give them more water every two days or so. They drink three times as much as my established collection. I hope to be able to get a few photographs of them this week, I'd like to keep tabs on how they change over time.
