Recent Rescues *DUW*

I got these two girls on the 19th/20th of this month from two different sets of folks.

The first female, Sarah graciously went and picked up for me, as a trip to Dallas AND Austin in the same day just wouldn't have made my car very happy. The snake is very small, dehydrated, and on the day of rescue, was just so unhappy she was axanthic looking. She's now in shed, but these pictures show just how small she is. She is supposedly 5 years old and is only 1155g... She has since been dubbed Zaranth.

The second female, I picked up in Austin... *shudder* The apartment complex was, well... trashiest of trashy trash. Oh, and a big Ew. The tanks were setup OUTSIDE in the sun, and her tank contained a hot rock and calci-sand. Even my non-herp buddy Shawnna recognized that as a huge No-No. The snake, or so I was told, is around 3-4 years old, but other than having sand in her hoo-hoo, she's no worse for wear. She currently weighs 1600g and has been named Loranth.

Great snakes and great names. Reminds me of Dragonriders of Pern. All the dragons had names ending in th. Love it!

Glad they are settling in well with you...... I know they have reached BP Nirvana! lol :sunny: Love the name too!

Glad to see these snakes are in better hands now Becky!!

Any word from your friend?

Aww they are lovely Becky and they are now in a home where they'll be loved and cared for properly. :)

The poor things.. and OMG.. tank Outside? That one takes the cake. I seriously applaud you for taking thse girls in for better lives.

I'm sure they'll be doing better now... ;)

Keep us updated on them!

No Mike, I sure haven't heard from him yet. I am definitely sending an email out as soon as I get an email myself :)

And thank you for the good words on these two girls. The bigger girl is just a hoot. Comes climbing out of her tub towards you, and you think she's going to nail ya. She just wants to be held, it's so funny.

I need to build 2-3 more racks, anyone wanna help? ;)

I will second that ... and that is great Becky. I am so glad to see they are with someone who really cares about them.

I'm also very thankful I have a wonderful exotics vet at my fingertips, just in case. At least these girls aren't very bad off, just dehydrated and not well cared for. But they're at Camp Becky now :) Everyone gets fat here!
