I don't think I'd come back if I knew I was going to be bashed or attacked. (At least that how it came off to me as people sounding.)Originally Posted by rabernet
I don't approve of her conditions and didn't even look at the pictures (dial up, things move slow and I don't have the patience to see an incorrect setup). I'll view them later this evening if i can.
To the original poster. We want to help and want what's best for all of the animals. A bunch of scenarios can be played out as to what has happened to your snake. The pesticide used, the housing of multiple snakes, the flies, stress from force feedings, etc.
It's good you have an appointment set up for your bp. What I suggest in the coming days is to buy some tubs, appropriate sizes for each animal and separate them. You'll need UTHs (for each cage, maybe two per cage if you can't get the correct heat gradient), something to control them (thermostat/rheostat/dimmer), water dishes, aspen, and hides.
Yes it's going to cost some money. Much less than having them all in tanks. But it's what is needed. I'd then work on getting your entire collection to the vet for a wellness exam and fecals. Yes this is going to cost money as well.
If you can't come up with the money I suggest adopting them out and being honest with the adopter. That they need to go to the vet and you don't have the money. That they are housed together and that you've had some trouble with feedings.
BTW where are you located?
I am not sure I have compelte thought here, so if I missed anythign I will be back later to add to it. Feel free to PM if you want some help.
