python crying! (rescue)

[lguizar12]

So the snake hasn't been seen by a vet yet, or am I misunderstanding your post?

No vet yet. Today he's trying emergency hopefully he does. I cannot make him go. I strongly urged him.

And as far as the "crying" noise, it did cry loudly consider yoursel fortunate you didn't have to hear that.

Wait.. you just wrote "I was writing here through my iPhone driving to vets. " .. but it hasn't been seen by a vet? You also started this out with "I got a python from a friend that accidently sat on it ", but now, you don't HAVE the snake, he still does?

I'm confused here. DO you have the snake? Did you indeed take it to the vet?

And Wilomn, I've also heard a snake make a sound similar to a kitten's cry. It was indeed an RI, and was the noise of the breath being forced through a mucus filled/swollen airway, NOT a "cry of pain". I'd go as far as saying it was sign of the snake being in distress, but I'd think more of a involuntary 'cry'. No vocal cords = no way to "cry out", much less crying in pain. A distressed noise of a very sick animal though, and very disturbing.

ok......i was studying in my apartment when my class mate calls and brings snake to apt. He tells me it is sick it. it makes that noise and is drooling. i did make a thread about it. we then drive to local vets here in san bernardino because i go to cal state san bernrdino. we had no luck because this city is horrible and has no good vets. (no emergency ) There is a storm here so we couldnt drive too far. so we come back to apt. i set her up in a tank and have her warm. i studied a bit more because i had midterm with the snakes tank by my side. she seemed betterwith no drooling and no noises. it was now 3am went to bed woke up at 6 checked on her seemed fine again. before i went to school because i had test at 8am i gave him number. (he spent the night) and told him to try and call or take it. i am in class as we speak and will see what happens. that is the whole story.

Several of those offer 24 hour emergency help.

And forward this to your friend as well.

Animal abuse and neglect is when:

Any person, maliciously and intentionally maims, mutilates, tortures, wounds, or kills a living animal.
Any person overrides, overloads, overworks, torments, or deprives an animal of necessary food, water, or shelter.
Any person intentionally, for amusement or gain, fights any animal against another animal.
Any person permits an animal to go without veterinary care for an injury.

If they cannot or will not care for the animal, find a nearby herp rescue and surrender it. Or take it to one of the vets that deals with exotics and surrender it. Please don't just let it lie there and suffer. You can help.

Ahhh.. that makes more sense.
Are you sure you have the heat at a good temp? Too cool and the possible RI will get worse(if it's RI), and too hot, and the snake will stress and die.
Good luck, and make sure your friend takes the snake to the vet. it's a pet, and needs care.

Rude schmude.

You say you're a college student. Writing an accurate timeline with actual facts should not be beyond your capabilities. Of course you are schooling in Ca. so perhaps timelines and accuracy are beyond you.

It's not the fault of the readers when the writer incorrectly relates pertinent facts.

My guess is your friend is lying to you.

As far as noises, I've heard my share of respiratory related noises. I've also raised far more than my fair share of kittens.

I have yet to hear a snake cry like a kitten. You may have, it's entirely possible, but I haven't.
