EMERGENCY | My Ball Python's Scales Just Split

[Nixon]

Thank you for your words. I know she doesn't understand how much he has gotten better, though she was there when it first started. But, still, she should've been more careful. She did trip a bit but how close her foot was to his face it scared me so much. I was about to cry just seeing it. She's just a bit careless when handling a lot of things. Any animal, in fact, and even objects. I hope I can make her realize that she needs to tone it down a bit.

I just worry a lot about him and that was just too close of a call. It really pushed the thought into my brain that anything could happen.

But, thank you for saying this. It means a lot to me and it helps me.

I am astonished how you've managed to bring this guy back from the brink! I'm SO glad he wasn't carelessly crushed by an unthinking foot! Ack! I'd pass out. Keep the live animals and fine china plates away from that one.

Congrats again on this amazing save!

I know in late to the thread but would it have been a bad idea to wrap him with like gause wrap? Would that have hurt him worse? And to the guy that posted in the beginning about letting nature take care of it.. u shouldn't have snakes either... saying there is no vets in the wild isn't the point. The fact that he is stuck in a tank no food no heat no water. Let me guess there none of that in the wild to right? More then likely his issues wouldn't exist in the wild cause he's not stuck in a box with a ignorant person to depend on...

He eats frozen mice, yes. And no worries. It's a lot to read. Even I forget and I've read this entire thread.

And gauze wouldn't work right now because his wounds are closed. Also, he's a snake with no limbs so that'd be a bit hard, wouldn't it? xD

Dave is doing great. I have to take pictures with my phone this time because for the life of me I can never track down the connector to my camera.













He's a cutie.

Anyway, again, thank you all for saying all of these things! I'm sure there's people in the world who could've done better but sure enough, there's a lot more who could've done worse - or nothing at all. I'm so grateful that he is a fighter. I hope he'll be shedding soon so his scales can begin to grow better around his thicker body.

And, yeah, Piedlover, I hesitate a lot now when she asks to bring Dave out. I don't want him out without me watching. She's known to be very careless but she's back in West Virginia now so Dave is safer.

Go Dave, go!!

Wow I just read this entire thread! Nixon, good on you girl! So happy to see he's doing so well.
