since last april i have been fighting to save a RTB that came from an abused home. she got her 3rd surgery feb. 2nd. this surgery is the first time they put her under for it. my snakes old owner thought it was fine to throw live rats in with her. well the rats ate her head and that turned into an infection that has to be removed. x-rays also showed that the old owner had broken her back with a blunt instrument. she has had lumps removed 3 times. when i got her home from the last surgery she started coughing up blood. the vet said that was from swollowing blood from the surgery and from the anesthetic. to save her life it has cost me over a thousand dollars. but she is well worth it.
when i seems snappy about people feeding live that is the reason.
i took the rescue after only having snakes for one year. that was a bad idea. if it wasnt for people like julius squeezer and bwsmith me and chance wouldn't have made it.
next time you think about feeding live look at these pics. if that dont do it for you then think about spending a 1,000 dollars.
this first pic is of her first surgery
