It's not like that with this case at all. The woman who owned this snake tried her best and also got very bad advice from a vet who claimed to know the proper care on reptiles/snakes too. Only thing he knew how to do was line his pocket with her cash. The owner has been beside herself on the status of this snake's health since the first time I talked with her. She sought medical help from a supposed qualified vet also for it. money was not an object for this person either. When I picked up the 2 snakes from her, there was no doubt in my mind that this woman hadn't tried to go to the ends of the earth for this snake. She had done everything I had suggested to try and do in order to help this snake out since I talked to her last week and found out he was actually still alive at this point. She has cried many tears over this snake, both in and out of my presence. This snake was like a child to her, you just couldn't miss that in the way she held him or talked with him at all. I adopted her other snake from her, that's how I got involved with this one in the first place. She put the female up for adoption because she couldn't stand the thought that if that snake should ever need medical attention , she would not be able to provide proper treatment with a qualified vet..just like has happened here with Jake. She has tried to find a different vet for the snake but could not find one that knows snakes and what to do for what is wrong with the snake at all. She doesn't live near here at all and I also know that there are not reptile vets that know their stuff where she is located also.
I have visited many a home to take possession of a reptile that has health issues, most are usually from blatant neglect. This case is NOT like that at all [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_eek.gif[/img] I'll grab pics of ANGEL, the female BCI I also adopted from her too. She has not a single health issue going for her. Husbandry that I saw was right on target in both of these snakes cages.
