this is terrifying, and cruel. how can people let it go to that extent?
i guess (just guess) a reptile vet would put a tube through her mouth and put in something to rehydrate immediately, followed by nutrition. directly into the stomach.
she is skin and bones, its so terrifying. i fear for the organs, how can it come to this? I hope i am overreacting and that this will be a recovery story. (please keep us updated no matter what). But the image sends chills down my spine.
EDIT: the image distracted me from what you wrote under the image. I am glad she took a meal. For now, if she eats, i would attempt to get 15-20% of her current body weight into her every 5 days, and when it works gradually lower to normal growing hatchling/subadult scedule of 10-15% every 5-7 days.
