Lol yeah I was trying to avoid keeping him. I'm really an advocate for wildlife being Wild, but I cant put something broken outside. No point in saving him if I'm just going to throw him out and kill him
If he truly does have permanent damage, then I guess I'll be setting him up with the others haha
My whole house is full of rescued reptiles. For snakes I had starved and battered bull snakes, mite covered, skinny and severely dehydrated ball pythons. My retic had an RI and was covered in actual open wounds, including actual cigarette burns down his body. The man who had him before used to put out his Smokes on the snake. He was an expensive vet bill but dang if he isnt my favorite snake now.
So I'm no stranger to being a reptile hospital. I have no problem with keeping him if he stays broken lol
