Rat bites snake eyes and head

[gsarchie]

Hig, I left you some negative rep for that one. What is wrong with you? Yes, mistreatment of an animal that can't care for it's self is deplorable, but wishing bodily harm on a human being is completely inexcusable. I would trade the life of a 1000 ball pythons for one human life, hands down, even though I would never be put in that position - I'm just making a point.

yes my monitor is more important hes huge i had him since a baby unlike snakes. Monitors have emotions. They can show affection. They can learn their name. So yes he is more important to me than the other animals seeing as he is my oldest animal. so it would be awesome if instead of repeating what was said above in different words. A little help and care i can give to my pastel until I get him to the vet Friday. when she returns from her vacation. thank you. hopefully I will get a decent response.

Heh. I don't want this guy on this forum. Why did you even get a ball python? You don't seem to have any care for it. Just because she doesn't display emotions the way your monitor does? Did you buy the pastel as a baby? If not, does that make her any less deserving of your best care? So because she doesn't know her own name, she isn't intelligent enough to feel the pain, or experience life-threatening STRESS from such an encounter?

This is textbook animal cruelty. After you take responsibility for YOUR animal, I hope you find her a better keeper. You honestly disgust me.

My big old normal girl was my very first snake, purchased from Petco, raised from a 100 gram little baby to an 1800 gram adult. She will always be my favorite, but that doesn't mean that the newer additions don't deserve the same attention that she does.

Someone NEEDS to lecture you on the responsibility that comes with owning an animal.

Are you anywhere near Houston, Texas? If so I will come pick up the snake and take it to the vet and give it a loving home with proper care. Just offering so you will have more money to spend on your monitor.

PM me if interested.

With warm regards

I'm sorry this happened to you! But I know how you feel. I know how hard life can get sometimes. I have all kinds a reptiles and everyone is like a child to me. I know what it's like to be broke. I'm a poor college kid working part time and going to school full time all year around. I just wanted to say that it's possible. There's always a way. I found a way when I adopted a 10 year old iguana with a fused tail. She had to have 95% of her tail amputated. That same year it tried to grow back... And had to be amputated again. It's not easy. See if your vet does payment plans. Do a car wash. Garage sale. Whatever it takes. Where are you located? Maybe I can help you..

I'll put in an offer as well. If you're within 3 or so hours of northern Alabama, I'd love to take your baby to the vet.

The first reply and the last few are what this site is about. Offering advice, and offering to drive to him and take the snake to a vet and give it a loving home. Kudos to you guys.

This site also has a lot of people who are passionate about their animals, too.

I would be willing to take it if your in NY but chance are your not ecause it's illegal to own a black throat in NY.
People gave you advice, you are not listening.
Monitors show emotions snakes don't? I have owned monitors for years, yes they show emotions, I call it instincts. They are a predator just like snakes they are usually on top of the food chain. My monitors would show emotions/instincts when I was around. They were curious because they are a preadot and looking for their next meal and observing their surroundings. Snakes do the same, all my snakes love coming out of their enclosure because they are curious of the surroundings. If your monitor is your "baby" I understand but don't let your other animals suffer. My first ball python angel is the only bp I have that has a enclosure, everyone else is in a tub. She is my favorite snake and will always be, this DOES NOT mean i do not love and respect my other snakes. They are all loved, and taken care of just as good as angel they just are not in enclosures. I take out money out of each pay check and out in my emergence fund for my animals, just incase something were to ever happen. I am a college student and work 40+hours a week, it sucks not having extra spending money on w.e. I want but it is what needs to be done.
Please do snake a favor and get it to a vet, or try to find someone to take it to the vet.
Be responsible for the snakes life that you chose to care for, remember the snake never decided to be in your care, you picked the snake.
