.......Shame.......

Say you were given a cat for free then it somehow broke it's leg. And you just let it go because "You had a hard time justifying a $400 vet bill for a cat you got for free" Well my friend then that would be animal cruelty. Knowing an animal needs care and you just ignore it.

That is the case here.

There isnt a magic fix for this that you are going to find on internet. As we all have tried to get across to you. I'm afraid if you didn't want to deal with the responsibility that comes with owning a snake you shouldn't have gotten one.

I know you probably feel attacked by the people in the community but we are fighting for the well being of the snake. Snakes don't have voices. SO we much be their voice when they are hurt. We are not simply going to say," Yea that okay let the tissue die and ehh if the snake dies that okay because if it were in nature that would have been the case anyways."

When you come on this forum you are going to get an honest response. Not one that is sugar coated
