    Appt. went great! Roger rides a lot quieter than my cats and dogs. The vet doesn't want to suture because it's shallow, but said it will likely be an issue during shed so keep a close eye when he does go into one, otherwise he looks perfect and is indeed a male. It hasn't gotten any worse or spread so hoping it's just a tear injury he had that wasn't visible initially. They want me to drop by a fecal when we can, got a container for that. The vet and techs all were most excited to see him so that was cute. They were curious about the backstory and if he was feeding regularly, agreed with me he was likely just in ill prepared hands previously. Only had to pay an exam fee. Very successful all in all.

    So, no slipped skin disease? No vitamin C supplementation?

    No she didn't think so. Wanted to treat as an injury only. It hasn't gotten any worse so maybe it was hiding under the stuck shed or a result of that somehow?

    Very good!

    You have such an incredible collection and adding Roger only benefits him. I have no doubt he'll get the best care from you.

    You are a shed or two away from getting him into perfect shape.

    Well done Postal!

    Just a cute pic I took yesterday, I don't really take him out unless necessary but figured it'd be good to give him a little handling as he's doing well. Still skinny but that takes time

    Re: Found on the road rescue

    Finally a shed. He only got the head part off initially but I put a wet paper towel over the cage top, bumped up my humidifier and he got the rest off on his own the next night. He pooped both nights so is definitely emptied out and looks so scrawny. Up 40 grams from when I got him so up to a whole 206. His cut looks a lot better imo, like it's healed over with a layer? I didn't touch or mess with it but that's how it appears.

    So skinny looking post poops


    Same snake, same day, different background/lighting and body position, a good example why it's so hard to judge body condition off pictures

    What a great update. It always feels like "forever" when you're waiting for a starved snake to gain weight- but it's a very slow process, as you know.
