So the plan is to rehab and rehome this girl. Horrified at her health.

You have a pet store in Seattle? Or do you just work there?

I ask because Seattle is a close (ish) drive for me.....

Poor baby girl. Glad you got her out of there. Hope she recovers nicely.

I applause you for taking in that poor boa! I say this over and over to myself, but why get a snake ( or any other pet) if you cant properly care and provide for it?.. The excuse that man gave you was b.s. and frankly if that was me I would have told him just that. Anyways, the boa is in good hands now. Please share pictures when you and her are ready...

I really wish some people would just stay far away from all living creatures...they just can't be trusted to care, it's something to show off with a while. :mad:

I'm glad she's with you now, hope she makes a good & complete recovery...I know you'll do everything possible to make sure that happens...it's just so
pathetic what bad owners put animals thru...there's just very few acceptable excuses (like being in a car accident & laid up in hospital...) & obviously
that wasn't the case here. :(

i work at the Interbay Petco.

Just an update. The Vet treated her burns and gave me some cream to put on them. Did a fecal and gave her an injection of antibiotics. Animal control was present and took photos and police report. I showed the text messages and he documented everything. She is in my care still but staying over night at the vets house to be monitored a couple of days. They are going after him for animal cruelty and vet bills. I get her back Saturday morning and will keep treating the burns. Poor girl is in such bad shape. Will post photos Saturday if I can. So angry.

That's awesome they are going after him...

:carrot::dance::carrot::dance: Happy Dance from me too! Poor snake :(

It's terrifying that someone who blames such blatant animal neglect on his pregnant wife is having a child at all! Snakes are the most low-maintenance pet after sea monkeys!! You mean you haven't been able to find time in over 2 months to drop a rat in your snakes cage?!

Ugh, what garbage. Thank you for doing the right thing! Hope she springs back for you :(
