More mamba rescues

[MsTT]

Three Jameson's this time. The one I just finished examining and debrieding under anesthesia was a major mess, totally shattered lower jaw. The first one wasn't bad at all, just a torn jaw ligament and exposed bone ends. Number three has just been premedicated and I'm taking a break to let the meds take effect. Don't know what I'll see inside that mouth but it looked fairly scary from the outside.

Pics to follow over the weeks of their treatment. #2 will almost certainly need surgery.

Anyone wishing to sponsor one or more mambas through recovery is welcome. Needed even; I could really use a helping hand over here. If you want and you're qualified, you get the snake when it's through rehab. A slide show featuring the last batch of rescues is at http://www.snakegetters.com/demo/mamba/

This kind of animal cruelty makes humans in general look bad...it's not just snakes this kind of crap happens to.

No animal should have to suffer from cruelty or abuse. Its not right and some humans just do not seem to understand that. Its a sad thing to see.

I just want to say I give a standing O and tip my hat to you. People like you how take the time and effort plus probly most of the cost to take care of these animals. You are also a hero in my book these animals feel pain and fear so they have a soul... so good job and god bless...
