Re: Rescued burm need some advice
I agree with Momokahn about the importance of extra hydration by injecting water or Pedialyte. Severely dehydrated snakes cannot digest until they are rehydrated,
and the last thing a snake in this condition needs is to regurge a meal...even a small one.
In rescues like this, I would also inject some reptile vitamin/mineral powder too, or else pack a little of the powder into the rodents mouth...that way you don't need
to use a syringe or try to dissolve it so it doesn't clog the needle. (if you go the injection route, get liquid vitamins)
How is it going so far?

Re: Rescued burm need some advice
Soooooo given this beautiful little snake is so dehydrated I'd be tempted to give it a 30 minute soak ??
I've only had a quick look through all the replies and nobody seems to have mentioned it . I've taken over a couple of dehydrated snakes over the years and a soak makes an massive difference.. immediately afterwards they look much plumper and seem more 'alive' .
Any thoughts ??
Apologies if I've missed something.

Re: Rescued burm need some advice
Snake is doing good! I got rid of the mites but I'm gonna treat her one more time just to be safe. I gave her a rat pup 6days ago I believe and she ate that, plus I've been giving her fresh water and just letter her be for the most part. I have a good feeling she'll manage to make a full recovery without any problems. She was definitely starved of food/water and in a enclosure way to big.

I totally agree, thanks! I meant to suggest that as well- (I got sidetracked somewhere?) Not to mention that it helps by drowning any missed mites.

Re: Rescued burm need some advice
Forgot to get more pics of the little girl but I did get this one. If you compare it to the first couple picks there is already a big difference in how she looks.

"No good deed goes unpunished..." or so they say? I hope she'll settle down, that's no way to say "thanks!"
She's GOT to be feeling good, she looks SO much better already.
