Learn to accept that you are wrong. The snake should be properly cared for, just as a child should be. We can differentiate between right and wrong, and apparently you cannot.

SNAKES are NOT CHILDREN! There is a HUUUUGE difference in the value of life!

Might be best to take a break.

The bottom line here is, most of the people here put the same value on their pet snake as they do their pet dog, or their pet cat, and have a hard time understanding a seemingly callous response to getting proper medical care for their pet, an animal that depends 100% on the level of care you provide it.

If your snake is just a convenience and a low priority to your wallet, and even to your emotional response to it (or lack of emotional response), perhaps it's best to re-home it to someone who is willing to get it the proper care that it needs.

her post said that it happens when there is a "female in the area in heat" (Paraphrased). This would imply that the pharamones in the air would affect other dogs. Which gender of dog gets roused when there is a female in heat?

Yep, I've spent every moment since I got home from work doing just that. Thanks :)

I really am not completely cold and callous about this subject, I have been tending to my snake frequently. I have been on this forum, visiting friends and calling people trying to get a solution. Everyone please stop criticizing my character because I have a hard time justifying the cost, and an even harder time getting CREDIT, e.g. going into DEBT for this. I have been diligently searching for a viable solution to this.

Whoops...I forgot all about that. I thought you were reffering to the females.

Just wanted to address the issue of your snake becoming a "feeder snake" for another snake......REALLY bad idea. Your snake most likely has an infection that will be passed on to whatever snake eats it. Decomposing tissue is full of bacteria. Then that person will have vet issues. Seriously, if you don't want or can't afford to pay a vet, call a rescue. They will take the snake and see that it gets the treatment it needs.
