Burns / Infection / Unknown Disease : One of the Worst Snake Owners

[JodanOrNoDan]

Nixon, I also read your whole thread about Dave. I know we were all really impressed by your (and his!) perseverance and care. One suggestion could be setting up a GoFundMe page to ask for donations toward the vet bills for this snake - I bet a lot of folks here would happily pitch in a few bucks, especially since we know you have a track record of successfully rehabilitating an animal with extensive care needs. I know this sounds like asking for hand-outs, which lots of us really don't like to do. But don't think of it that way - you're just doing what it takes to help and animal in need, and giving other people who care a way to help.

It really sounds like the most likely way that those two remaining snakes have a chance at anything other than a slow, painful death is for them to be turned over to you, and I know your parents might start to wonder how many snakes you're going to end up with. But I would also expect that if you don't feel you can keep that many snakes long term, the forum could also be a way to find a good forever home for them once they're ready to be adopted.

Wonderful idea. Based on Nixon's success with Dave I'd pitch in.
