Our new little rescue

Hi all...well I am doing my first rescue. A friend of ours got this little snake from someone who couldn't keep it anymore. Not sure if it is a girl or a boy yet so its name is Alexa...(alexandra or alexander). Have to keep up with those royal names....lol....We will see!! I think he/she is just beautiful!!

You got a spider as a rescue, not bad. So where do you hide the horseshoe?
Also my my what big eyes he has.

lol...I know huh! I scored on that!! I didn't even want a spider....planned on trying to make one. But he/she is a total sweetheart...had her for 2 days...thought...hmmmmm....I will offer food since it is feeding day for my other ones. She ate 2...wooohoooo

Congrats! Nice rescue. I love the eyes on that boy/girl.:gj:

Great rescue! Good luck with her/him

He/she is very pretty, love the color! A spider as your first rescue... Not bad at all!!!

Wow a free reduced pattern beautiful spider!!

I had to pay top dollar for mine! LOL

Congratulations :gj:

A Spider as a rescue? That's something not found too often. She/he is beautiful though, I really like it!!

Thanks everyone. She has a little bit of an RI but nothing too bad .....I am keeping an eye on it right now. I bumped up the temps at this point to see how it goes. But if it seems to get any worse....we will take her in right away. She also has about 6 little scabs on her back....I am thinking at this point it is a bite from a feeder. Nothing that I don't think will go away with a couple of sheds. I am also keeping an eye on the sides of her head, and back jaw area. Maybe it is just me but it almost seems a little swollen. Not sure...maybe it is just she is waaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy underweight. My husband doesn't see it ....so it could just be me. :confused:

Its sad to see such a young snake with problems like this already. Like I said....we did not even think about getting a spider...we were going to make one....but we did not want to see her die either. I was contacted about the snake ....called my husband.....and he was like...OK...order a herpstat, order some flexwatt...go get a ...blah ...blah ...blah. lol...:rolleyes: I love my hubby...lol.

:gj: Nice rescue. Nice find!

Good for you for rescuing that beautiful snake! It really is gorgeous!

Nice color and pattern!:) luck you.:)

i'm gonna have to agree with the purtyness of that spider!! the sides are so gold and clean :tongue2:
GL with that RI :gj:

What a beautiful little spider! You sure are lucky to get one like that as a rescue!

BTW, you can't "make" a spider without having a spider (or spider combo) to start out with.
