I think everyone needs to take a step back and relax. I know that these images bring up some uncomfortable feelings for us but we need to put everything into perspective. The OP is not likely to come back here and give us some follow up (which I know everyone would like) if we keep name calling and pointing blame. I doubt this person wants any harm to come to her new snake. She is here looking for help. Name calling, "yelling", and other harsh statements are not helpful. Remember there is a person on the other end of this who is reading these comments! It's easy to say mean things to an inanimate object like your computer. I doubt you would say such harsh words in person. Face to face conversation is much different.
They are the one with the injured snake who has to read the comment "just put it down" over and over again. I bet that isn't something you would want to hear, even if it is true.
I'm giving this person the benefit of the doubt. All we have are a few pictures and a few lines of text. We can't make a diagnosis based on that. We can make some logical inferences, but that is about it. Obviously the first thing this person should do is get to a vet. We still don't know whether or not they have so don't just assume they haven't. Not everyone is on the forum 24/7 like me.
