A little help on pictures for a caresheet

[unluckyseventeen]

Hey guys. I am creating a basic caresheet for Boas that will answer everything one would need to know from the second they are considering purchasing a boa, and I'm trying to be able to cover all bases. In order to do this I'm going to need some help on pictures, and if I could, can I use these for the caresheet? These need to be pretty stable links so the caresheet lasts for a while and has updated pictures.

I need pictures (that I can use with permissions) of:

Any general Boa picture will be fine
Handling Large Boas
Pictures of Boa Tongues being flicked
Pictures of recently Born Babies (mess and all)
Feeding
Pictures of all sizes of rat (comparing them with a measurable item, like a ruler or dollar)
Pictures of Boas with infections or bites from rats
Tanks and Setups (heating, hides, water bowls... anything)
Pictures of Shedding in progress
Pictures of incomplete sheds
Pictures of mites
Burn Pictures
Swollen Vent Pictures
Pictures of cuts or open wounds
Various BCC pictures
Pictures of yawning

And any other pictures of anything you think would be useful is certainly welcomed in this thread! Please help! I really appreciate it!

NOTE - for all pictures used, can you please include a direct URL link to the picture? Not to the site it's hosted on, to the ACTUAL picture and nothing else, so I can use it. Thanks!!!

Feel free to use any of these, although I am sure other people have better quality pics. (my digital camera sux)

You can just right click and save as for the pics if you want them

I think these links will work... Feel free to take a look at my album

Rescue Snake #1 (Piper) came to me w/ a badly infected rat bite wound on his head and he's severely underweight. Rescue Snake #2 (Larkin) has a burn on his head and stomatitis.

There are before treatment and after treatment pics of Piper's infection - though he's still healing. Both of those two are still being treated so if you need different pics I can work on that as well.

You might want to ask Louise if you can use the pics of Chance as far as bite wounds go. Just a thought.

Hope it helps,

Mary

Thanks. I appreciate it! This caresheet will be posted on this website within a couple of weeks. I will refer people to it from thereon out to answer questions, or if they are just interested in purchasing a boa.

Thanks again!

Here is one from a rescue that was in a small cage that I believe caused the creases.

She was 6ft and kept in a cage that was 2ft x2ft and had those creases real bad (from being coiled up all the time) I know larger snakes will get these too and extent but these were the worst I have seen. They have gotten better in the last year and don’t seem to affect her at all, other than her first shed with me which seemed to break at the creases but has been perfect since.

Realize this is off the subject, but I saw the creases too....my largest boa has those same creases...I wondered what that was from! I figured it was from staying coiled up all the time in their old cage trying to stay warm, but her new enclosure is at 85 F with an in-tank heat pad under the substrate...and has two basking lamps (to keep it warm), and the cool side is around 70- 75 F, and she crams over in the cool side and stays coiled up. She sheds terrifically though...so I guess it isnt a big deal..
