@mama_arty I thought about that, actually. I'm going to talk to my friend and see if Arthur is doing anything about it and if what he is doing will make him recover. Dave had smaller lacerations, yet he still got antibiotic cream AND shots. I don't think cream will help if there's an infection settling in, anyway.
I want to hear from others, too. I just don't want to be hated by Arthur if animal control shows up and takes him away. He doesn't seem to care for his snakes, but his reputation may matter more. Who knows? If he's doing nothing then I have no choice.
@zina10 I see your point. I have my angry side as well saying the same thing, however I'm not going to lose Ariana's friendship because of it. Like I said before, if he's not doing anything then I will forward it to animal control.
