Got these for free today...abandoned....

They were free and sure she will be spending a nice chunk of change to get them back to health (assuming they all pull through). W.e the case is I'm sure her expenses won't be half of what they are worth.. Again congrats!

It's not just about money though that I was talking about, and I'm sure anyone who's had a snake with an RI before (nevermind multiple snakes with RIs) will understand. It's a huge physical and mental burden. I've never personally had any RIs (knock on wood) and hopefully I never do, but I am good friends with people who have, and I've seen it break them down mentally trying to make sure they pull through. I'd probably take in one morph for free that's sick, but multiple snakes is another story. I probably would have passed them up because of the commitment it takes.

Nothing is free in this world.
Free snakes = higher food and vet bill. Less space and more clean up.

But congrats on the snakes!
Hope they all pull through well.

Caring for one abandon female with a RI was hard enough, I couldn't imagine doing it for 6 or 8!

And no I am not surprised someone gave them up like that. People do all kinds of weird things. It could be as simple as they thought they had enough time to get babies, or maybe even sell some of them, and then suddenly they were out of time.

Of course, there is even a tiny chance the person who left them the first time even stole them, and that is why they were left behind.

Regardless, I applaud the OP for their willingness to take on that many sick animals, expensive morphs or not.

Wow, I commend you for stepping up to the plate and taking these poor sick snakes in. I hope they all pull through for you. Best of luck.

I am a dog groomer. thank you for all the positive responses...ill be posting updates periodically to show their progression. The last couple days have been so stressful, but now they've settled in for the most part and yesterday had their first dose of baytril (they all have RI) so hopefully, they will all recover...I'm ready for the bumpy road ahead though...my heart goes out to these little guys its heartbreaking that they had to endure what they did before I took them in..

I hope they all pull through for you. My vet gives something different that is a little more aggressive with treating RIs than baytril. I'm at work so I don't have the name handy, but it might be something you want to consider. I used it when my enchi had a minor RI and it worked really well. I'll post the name when I get home.
