Yay! Congrats!
She's probably feeling much better since you took her in and has gained enough strength to feed on her own. :)
I'm very happy for you two.

I'll be watching her recovery very closely. I can't wait to see her a few months from now.

This makes me wonder what the previous owner tried to do to get her to eat... OR if she even tried at all.

I just went up to the snake room and inspected all the enclosure's conditions.... I was getting paranoid after seeing the poor condition that snake is in. I wanted to take them out and inspect every snake but stopped myself. Gotta get a grip.

Thank you for trying to save that little one! Does she even have a name?

This is the exact thing I've been wondering past few days. Seems like there is nothing wrong with the snake or her appetite. Although, we don't know what where the conditions she was in, when she was still with her previous owner. But yeah... it makes you wonder.

I named her Hope, hoping that the name would be an omen :oops:

U sound absolutely crazy man:(

Following thread. Good luck and looking forward to your updates!

DO NOT POWERFEED. When ppl and animals are starving, large amounts of food will kill them. You need to take it very slow.

Really? :confuzd:

Hope is a beautiful name. I'm glad you have her, and I'm glad getting her to eat doesn't seem to be too problematic. She's in good hands. :)

Yes really, depending on how long anything has been starved organs can start to slow down and become damaged. Not saying this is the case here, but it's always best to start slow and work your way up
