While I completely agree it is the snake owners full responsibility to find out what happened to that poor snake and to make sure it gets the vet care it NEEDS. But when less than responsible pet owners don't do their part that's when others are supposed to step in. Be it family, friends or some type of animal control authority.. and if no one steps in and they know about it, they in my opinion are just as guilty.

I know if I had a friend who was lacking in responsibility, as hard as it may be, I would of still relayed the findings to my friend ASAP and made sure the animal was seen by a vet, I would take it myself if need be. I would rather my friend be upset at me or their self or both than to imagine what kind of pain that snake might be in. Especially if your friend asked you to do any kind of research on the matter, that tells me he/she should be ready for any news.

Such a gut wretching, sad story to read about, an accident turning into abuse/neglect.. sorry if I step on some toes, I always keep my mouth shut as I dont like fighting or drama but when it comes to animals that don't a voice, that's when I speak up. You can't tell me that poor girl didn't feel the pain of her life!! That breaks my heart.. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that animal needed a vet. By not taking it, i think its abuse.

I kept watching this thread hoping to see an update that included vet care but it hasn't came yet..

Ps if that poor girl makes it, someone would have to be very selfish to ever breed her again.
