Hmmmm *sneaks off quietly to put all the snakes in the kid's names*

...I was really hoping she'd come back...

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.)

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.

All I can say is wow. I thought I've heard and seen it all.
At least we solved the fly mystery

With all these "think they know everything" new members lately nothing shocks me anymore .That place must be a pig stye with flies in the winter

Geesh sorry Joe, I don't apparently own any snakes at the moment (however, my kids have a darn nice little collection going...hope they give em back to me someday).

Let me know what you think when you see those pics.

I am sure you will get as fired up about it as some of us have.

I do hope she comes back to get some help with correcting her husbandry issues.

If not she may very well lose her entire collection and not that I give 2 sheets what happens to her...I just hate to see any animal in those conditions.

There is NO excuse for her to have 5 snakes....2 ball pythons and 3 Boas in the same tank. And once people had looked at her pics....She had outright lied.

She lied from her very first post. and there is no reason to lie.

No reason whatsoever.

just sayin'

This, I think, is the key. She lied about the fact that her snakes were being kept together. When a person lies, they know they are doing something wrong. The fact that she immediately closed down her photobucket also points to the fact that she knows she is doing something wrong.

If someone comes to the forum and honestly asks about keeping their snakes together, and is genuinely willing to learn why their snakes are sick, they will get all the support and knowledge from this forum that they could ever want or need.

But when they come and diliberately lie about their situation---and wonder why their snakes are sick, duh---they deserve a little scolding, IMHO.

What is the green and red dots in the enclosure with her too?

I am pretty sure those are aquarium gravel...for fish tanks....which is why I find it hard to believe that she cleans her tanks at all much less on a weekly basis.

just horrible.
