Thanks For The Help

[impressivesmoke]

If anybody has read the newbie forum lately, you might have come across mine. I was in desperate need of help and you guys really delivered, Thanks. Anyway, I found out that my ball does indeed have Blister Disease. Thanks to some helpful advice, "Sammy" is doing much better. It's only been about a week and I know we aren't out of the woods yet, but al least now I have some hope. I could seriously hurt the person who let her get in this shape, ignorence is a terrible thing. Anyway these are some pics, they're from last week, so she doesn't look so bad now, but I'll post some recent ones later. Again, THANK YOU!

how did your snake get in that condition?

[impressivesmoke]

From what I've been able to find out, she was kept at a school. I guess that nobody really took it upon themselves to take care of her. Her condition is caused by overly wet, cold, and soiled conditions. Somebody finally decided to do something when she was "attacked by a mouse"(meaning the gash on her side that was actually caused from the blisters). I was the only one that anyone knew(a friend of a friend type of thing) who was "into snakes," so they brought her to me.

That's so sad. I'm glad that you have her now. I hope she makes a speedy and full recovery!

It's also pretty sad that she was being kept in a school. Now all those kids will have some crazy idea of how little care these creatures need.

Best of luck!:)
