Malnourished ball: Frost

[Inknsteel]

Very small meals, very little handling, good heat and humidity and hiding spots. With care she will probably do okay. But be aware that with no food probably came little fresh water too, and extended dehydration and starvation can often damage organs past recovery. So you could do everything right and then she may die anyway, due to organ damage.

Definitely keep them all separately. A sick snake can look fine until it gets very very ill, so you've put your pets at risk bringing in new animals.

Good luck with them.

Ah, yes... I guess I forgot to address the feeding question in my last post. I agree with the small meals to start. I would even go so far as to go with a single large mouse per feeding, once every 7 to 10 days to start. Once she starts eating consistently, then work on bumping up the prey size a bit. The key is to ease into getting her up to weight as you don't want to shock the system by trying to overcompensate for the past...

I think you'll have a pretty good chance of getting her back up to health. I took in a bunch of rescues about a year ago who had been fed once every few months if that (I'm talking 3 year old plus snakes that came to me at 200 grams) and I've managed to get them all back in shape...

Good luck and great job on the rescue!
