Newest abandonment, and update!

Please meet the latest ball into Rusty Reptiles:

This little girl was left along with a sav monitor and two pacu, luckily not all in the same cage. But still abandoned none the less. Not well cared for but not the worst we've seen. Ok weight and no external parasites. She is acclimating well in her quarantine enclosure. I'll try and keep you all updated if you'd like.
Oh, and if anyone wants to play the name game, your welcome to give ideas


Update on Behr...

Do you all remember the last abandonment case?
Well Behr was recently adopted to a nice couple with a great little eleven year old. He is a responsible little man and better yet the parents were quite keen on snakes and ball pyhtons ecspecially. They had a perfect setup and even said they may keep the name after hearing of how he aquired it.
Thanks
Rusty

Thanks for fixing the link.
No the two pacu (yeah low and behold I'm a D### fish rescue..lol) they were still small about seven inches or so long. Really, really nasty tank though, all the animals came out of allot of filth. But the two pacu are doing well in with the big guy (twelve inches, in fact he came to us in a bucket on our front stoop, I guess I am a fish rescue...AAHHH).
Thanks
Rusty

"Rusty Reptiles provides a rescue, rehabilitation and education program for all reptiles, amphibians and arachnids. And fish too."

LMAO....I have never heard of someone leaving a fish in a bucket on someones doorstep. That is horrible.

I love fish but I would rather clean reptile enclosure instead of aquariums anyday :)

Poor little thing. That's so sad. It pisses me off that people do things like that. As for a name, how bout Chyla?

LOL Well you know if I picked a name it would be some odd Celtic name that you can't spell or pronounce real well! You could always go with Annie (like lil orphan annie). She's so sweet! How could anyone not love and want that sweet little snake!

Btw I always forget to ask. Do you have a website about your rescue?


~~Jo~~

wow thats sad but i mean therre lucky that u picked them up!!!

Good to hear that Bher is doing well and we are all glad that you continue to do what you do Rusty! :D :blowkiss:

Thanks all, This is a little off topic but I had to vent.
My hubby takes a nap and wakes up to find a third of the water gone from the Pacu 90 gallon tank....AHHHHH And we live on the second floor.
Well I just finished steam cleaning my neighbors couches (really who owns white couches when you have two crazy kids under ten, I mean really!) So I happily cleaned macoroni and cheese stains out of their carpets and couches. I feel a bit taken for. But it is our responsibility. IN the end it turns out that the seal on the tank (All Glass brand), gave out and leaked.
These Pacui are going to be dinner very shortly..lol
They are living in a sweater box on my floor for the time being. I may have to put them in with the Annacondas. They have a large enough setup. Ahhhh Pacu!

ya know, my friend rescued a blood python that had five sheds still stuck on him and eye caps are permanently stuck. so the poor guy strikes at everything because he is blind... the sheds were all taken off, but the eye caps will not budge. the previous owner had him in a aquarium with no water, no heat, no hides and temps were not measured. thank god that my friend siezed him. poor snake...

A good vet can get those caps off. They will pop off, but you need the right equipment to do it.

Some of you may remember when our ball python "Eyecap" was still around. He was the ball that lived with his "friend" the gerbil, who could not drink out of a water bowl so the owner installed a water bottle instead. Now that was allot of eyecaps..Nothing a good soak didn't cure. The bite wounds on the other hand took a long, and I mean a long, rehabbing process. Anyhow off track. Just make sure the blood is able to get re~hydrated and properly vet checked.
Good luck
Rusty

Tell your friend not to give up. Really good husbandry especially during shedding will likely get the snake back in shape and get those caps off. A couple of our big females had layers of shed on them plus one with a lot of caps on one eye. We were able to remove some but left the others. She finally shed normally recently and there were two lovely dark shiney eyes under all that mess! There is hope!

I completely agree with Rusty about having the snake see a vet. Gosh knows what the poor thing has been through and it's always well worth the money to get an abused animal seen and a fecal done.

Do some of them go to new homes or do they live with you forever?

I think she manages to adopt some of them out. Right Rusty?

I'm willing to give snakeys a home.....*HINT, HINT!*;) They just can't be so big that they'd see my little Siamese as an entree!! :w00t: If you're ready for "Annie" to get a new home, just let me know!!! :)
