    Re: Need help with a baby, think he may have been stepped on?!

    If OP is just going to ignore the thread where they asked us help for something and we're trying to help them, we should just stop. We shouldn't bother trying to help them if they don't want to take our advice.

    To OP, take your snake to the vet, tell us what's happening and take our advice, or don't ask for help at all. You know what you need to do.

    Maybe the OP is feeling a little hurt regarding the situation and the replies he is getting.
    Or he just hasn't been back on so maybe he's taking care of the snake? Hopefully.
    OR. The snake already passed away, and so he isn't going to bother to come back on. Hopefully not..

    Just a thought, although, I really agree with everything everybody has said.

    I'm with you, I find it hard to believe this is real. Who buys a $600 snake on impulse with no idea what they're doing? Not to mention not having any vet money available.

    You'd be surprised. Some people are honestly just stupid.

    But for real though?! A beautiful pied, costing at least $400-$600 if not more. Why would you be so unprepared? Even if you don't have a cage, a sterilite tub costs what? Maybe $6 at target?

    I may be sounding really mean, but I hope you really think twice before getting another snake, or animal in general.
    I've got quite a few...

    Re: Need help with a baby, think he may have been stepped on?!

    I have never ever in my life gotten an animal that I wasn't prepared for. The only animal that you could consider me to be unprepared for was a baby deformed uromastyx that I received at a show via my uromastyx guy. He said that the baby really just needed a home but it wasn't like I didn't have anything to keep him in, I actually had an extra cage laying around. Sadly he passed away, but he had pretty slim chances of living a full life. I had to assist feed him daily because he wouldn't eat on his own. But I am never unprepared for an animal and I am almost 15. I've kept lots of reptiles for those who are surprised by my age. I'm very mature, given that I don't have any bad influence or childish friends. I don't really have many friends now that I think about it 😂

    Anyways, yeah. Never be unprepared. Always have an extra tank/tub/some type of housing.

    It's okay- snakes are our friends. We don't need those warm blooded people. We have been accepted by the snake pit

    If snakes are friends, then I have 17 of the best friends ever.

    Back on topic though, I'm really curious to see what is going on with this snake.

    Need help with a baby, think he may have been stepped on?!

    Who isn't curious, now? OP asked for our help, then ditched us. (Though, I was no help.)

    Edit: I've watched a lot of House, could the bruising be a sign of internal bleeding? Snakes and humans are incredibly different from one another, so I don't know.
