The thought of the eye coming out when the vet removed the retained shed gives me the heebie-jeebies.
But glad to hear snakey is going to be ok. It certainly landed lucky with your mum finding it and being brave enough to carry it home. My mum would have rum screaming in the opposite direction. Lol!
Well done to both you and your mum for saving and giving such a great home to this little guy. |

I know this propaply shows my lack of maturity but.. Hahahahahaha (not at the poor snaky, just at the one eyed snake comment) Sorry I hand my head in shame.
I like hearing about happy endings like this!! Hiss was a rescue that was found in the road by some people and taken so a wildlife rescue where my friend volunteered. He was a bit skinny and had quite a few marks but a few feeds and sheds later he was looking much better. I think its sad that so many snakes (and other animals) get dumped. I'm glad hes got a new home with some one who will take good care of him.
If he hasnt got a name yet can you call him something like willy... because hes a one eyed snake!? |

Apparently the eye was like dead underneath, so just had sorta become part of the skin that came off. The socket is looking really good atm, we have this antibiotic stuff to put on twice a day. He hasn't eaten yet but I'm gonna leave him a week to get a bit hungrier etc. then try with a pinkie. He's a little underweight so I';m gonna do one pinkie a week for a few weeks, then move up to two then fuzzies etc. Gradual weight gain (Y)
Doing well so far ^_^ |

Aww the poor thing. Its really lucky it was found by your brave mum and now has a good home. Why do people treat defensless animals like that. Why get it if they cant look after it or why not take it to a pet shop. Well i believe in khama, what goes around comes around. |

Petshops won't take on animals if they don't look healthy enough, bad tempered or because they have no room. Just a shame no-one agree to take it for free working there and take it home to look after until they can sell it!
That's great ^^ You have to let your mum keep him though :o |
A very special super, duper thanks for K :3 |

thats true but any snake lover knows how bad the cold can be for snakes. With the weather we are having it was so lucky to be found when it was. People can be so cruel. |

He's doing well atm. My mum ignored what I said and put a pinkie in with him this morning which he seems to find as appetising as I do. If he doesn't eat it by the time I go to work I'm gonna take it out and tell my mum to leave it until next weekend. She seems to think he'll keel over if he doesn't eat, but luckily a guy I work with works with the ferry ports around here and takes on confiscated snakes etc. He knows how to get them eating and if all else fails he can take it in until it is eating! It's who you know |
