Our little family... Not done growing

[meghanbu30]

Introduction to our ever growing family:

This is Turbo and Skyline...
Turbo is a youth pastel ball.
Skyline is a youth albino ball.

Turbo was a rescue from a teen who had him living in a small plastic container with holes drilled in the top, bottom, and sides with no water and a heating pad glued to the bottom of the container.
He had a stuck shed and 2 layers of stuck eye caps.
Skyline was picked up from petco when she was about 8 months old, she was and still kind of is, very small.
She has since gained some weight and length.
The two were introduced the day we brought skyline home and have been inseparable ever since!


This is Sylvia....
She is an adult normal ball.

She was a rescue from a guy who clearly had no experience or ability to take care of such a beautiful creature.
When we got her, her living conditions were deplorable, she had at least one stuck shed and we are still trying to get the remaining 2 stuck eye caps removed after already removing 1.
She had a horrible URI, the beginning of moth rot and a small belly burn.
Two rounds of antibiotic later the URI is nearly gone, the mouth rot has cleared up and the belly burn is healing nicely.


This is Bruttis....
He is an adult regular ball.

He is our newest addition. A retired class pet who hadn't been interested with other than being fed and having his cage cleaned in nearly 9 months.
He is still a bit jumpy and he snaps once in a while but we work with him daily and he is improving dramatically.

gorgeous animals. You obviously care a lot about them. But you really shouldn't keep two together.

Thanks for sharing

One of those four is the same one you're treating for multiple ailments (http://ball-pythons.net/forums/showt...-BP-do-this-!!), correct? Do you think it's wise to have them all together like this with the concerns you have about her?

This was basically a photography moment, they were together less than a minute and it was taken a little over a week ago before we thought there were any health issues to be concerned with.
They are all being watched closely now and Sylvia is isolated from them right now until we can get a handle on the issues that have come up.

Didn't you rescue Sylvia two months ago with multitudes of known issues (including the highly contagious, and still not completely cleared, URI)?

Vet told me after the antibiotics and with how well she was doing with URI that she should be fine around the other snakes.
I've never had a snake with a URI before, I assumed he knew what he was talking about

Just keep being diligent and keep an eye on everyone. After what you've gone through already, I'd hate to see the others take a turn on you.

Thank you, I appreciate the advice :-)
Tbh didn't know URI was highly contagious....
Newbie mistake I know :-/
