Ball Python rescue help... pics and videos

[gurpgurp]

Hey guys and gals....

So I tried everything I could.

Warm water and massage, hydrating, upped the heat and humidity and nothing....

I just called an Exotic Animal vet who deals with BP's and I think I have to take him, actually, I AM taking him. After searching he was the most affordable and reputable. $60, my vet wanted like $115, if I need meds or something hopefully it's not much and I can make up the difference.

Thanks to everyone for all the help and I will report back when I get back, the apt is at 2:15 PHX time.

Right now he's just chillin in his hide on the cool side, big ol' lump in his belly... I am guessing and kind of hoping that he's either just impacted or something, those movements in the video has been described by many a "regurgitating" move. I read a freaky article about internal mites and a lump... blah blah blah... not gonna think about it.

Here are some pics I just took...










Talk soon.

ok sorry for the improper wording, and rereading that it was rude, but in my defense i had just gotten home from a long day of school then work. I didnt mean "you are unfit to care for animals" if you cannot drop that money at any given time, i mean if that amount of money is completely out of the question for a period of time that allows your snakes condition to worsen. I also wanted to say that rescuing the mistreated thing was awesome and so was looking for any kind of help. Again im sorry for the improper wording and the rudeness of my comment, I do wish you and that poor little guy the best of luck. And keep us updated please

No sweat man, I've done it too. lol Thanks for all the help tho..
