Re: Small success story with a C. m. Pyrrhus

Awww! That is awesome!

I take in rescues regularly, but for snakes I have 2 that stand out. Both came from the same pwrson with completelydifferent issues of neglect. One was a female ivory BP who was supposed be about 9 months old when I got her. She was severely under weight at all of 76 grams....she also had stuck shed all over her face, 4 or 5 retained eye caps and a serious mite infestation. The 2nd one was a young male anaconda morph western hognose. He appearee ok except that he wouldn't close his mouth for days. I never heard any gurgling or bubbling, but found it odd and took him to the vet within the week. The vet confirmed a SERIOUS case of pneumonia and had doubts that the snake would make it. He was only 15 grams at the time. He gave me a whole vial of antibiotics and clean syringes and instructions to inject the tiny snake every 3 days.

I stuck to the regimen and against all odds, that tiny little hoggie beat tye pneumonia and is now a feisty adult male. =)

The BP also has been a feirce feeder since the day I got her and is at a lovely weight with zero mites ir shedding issues! She also has the best disposition of any of my snakes. =)
