Plop: The unexpected rescue... (lots of pics)

[Gizmo]

Oh gosh! Thank you all so much for your kind words and advice!! <3<3<3<3

I will get the thermometer and thermostat asap, when i get settled ill have to get a bigger heat mat anyway, so ill just buy them both at the same time.

I do have a question, and i will just go ahead and ask it here... When traveling, i am going to be driving cross country with him, will the heat packs for warming your hands in winter be enough heat for him? It could take several days to get where i am going, and if i just change those out as they wear out, will it be okay?

And then some pictures from this morning for you guys, just to compare on how big he has gotten in this short time.

His tub from the side... And a nice gift front and center that he left me overnight... lol


And here im going to compare, the night i got him vs today in almost the same pose, compared to my hand as a guide.

Before:


After:



And the rest are just pretty, taken in the natural light... I have never seen a BP with green eyes, and his are amazing...









He is such a sweet baby, i hope he stays this nice once he is fully back up to health... And he looks like he may be starting to get ready to shed again... poor thing, i hope this one goes better for him, if not, i am pretty practiced at soaking and helping at this point. ^.^;;

Oh gosh! Sorry for the double post1 But i just looked back at the time stamps on the first pictures, and i have my days wrong that i have had him...

I got him feb 12th 2014, so today is actually two weeks exactly that i have had him! Time sure flies!!

Happy two week anniversary Plop! X3

Soon a year will pass and you'll be wondering where the time went. And you won't be able to tell he ever had such a hard start! You've done wonders on the poor boy!

he looks so great! what a cutie... i know you will be moving and stuff so youre in transition and money may be tight at first so until you figure something out with his humidity may i suggest a product called shed-ease (found at petco etc etc) stuff works great to aid with shedding and just for the occasional soak. might help ya out for a little while.

Plop looks great, good job. I love his name... He is fine in a smaller enclosure too. More secure for babies. I agree, a thermostat should be your first new investment, when you get settled. Make sure you keep us posted with Plop updates.

It is crazy, how much just two weeks of actual care and attention will help a poor baby. I mean, i didnt even do all that much. I helped get his shed off, and then fed him. Thats it... Kept him warm and dry. whoa, what a concept.

I would really like to avoid chemicals wherever possible. I prefer longer soaks vs getting a 'shedding aid'. lol But thank you so much for the tip!

Thank you! Yeah, ill see if i can get the thermostat from a store, ill probably end up getting it sooner, rather than later, if i can.

And of course i will keep everyone updated!

Great job with everything. Karma will come your way! It's crazy how in two weeks a snake close to death made such a comeback.
