Our rescue boy Dmitri!

I saw this not so little fella on craigslist and knew I had to have him. He had a heat rock as a heat source, no hides, and no water for 10 months. He was also being fed live. When I picked him up he was as docile as a teddy bear, dehydrated, slightly underweight, had skin from his last shed and retained both eye caps. He also has a 4 inch laceration to his stomach and a bit of scale rot. A few spagnum moss soaks took care of the eye caps and skin and he has switched to f/t and is eating like a champ!

His first betadine soak! He didn't seem to mind at all.

He couldn't decide which hide he liked more, so he used them both :)

I couldn't be happier with this guy and the progress he has made so far. He's gone blue now, I can't wait to see him after a good shed!

Congrats on your new guy! I don't understand people sometimes but people like you that rescue these guys make the world a better place :)

Thank you! :) I dont understand people either. I think its a lack of education about reptiles. Despite everything this not so little guy has been through he's an absolute sweetheart! Proud owner of a 4.5 ft cuddle bug.

Congrats on your new boy Dmitri, Good job on the rescue! :)

Good for you, Way to go, He's got a Great home now....

how does someone go 10 months w/o giving a pet water? :confusd:

glad the snake is in better hands now.

Apparently the guy wasn't aware that snakes needed water. Common sense has truly become a super power.
