Thats rude!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This person is rescuing 2 abused snakes and doing her best to care for them obviously by posting to the site for help and advise and has said she would take them to the vet if needed. She should be called a hero.

Do you have the intestinal fortitude to rescue a couple of snakes in such bad condition??????????

By your cowardly rude remark I think not.

They aren't large yet. They are approximately 2.5ft and ~1.5" thick. They are very managable (for now) so I will decide what to do in a few months time. I said "I can't really", not "I really can't." I don't want to spend money on a vet (yet) but I will if absolutely necessary - I'll just give up on other things like going out, new clothes, etc.



Thanks for the support guys! I'm a guy, btw.. not a girl : P

people with hands on experience are always a valuable asset to any forum but theres no need for agrressive posts and sarcasism mykee getting a buzz out of scaring new members and folk with less experience than yourselfs nothing to be proud of mate.

it does not cost anything to be civil to people or would you rather create an atmosphere where newbies or those with less experience are too scared to come on here and ask a question ?

because all that achieves is snakes suffering because their owners have no where to turn to for help only for you to bring the guy down

i'm not reffering to your sense of humor which some take the wrong way but the type of post i've quoted above....

where someones doing their best to help a neglected snake and had the balls to be honest with us and ask for help only for you to start your crap with them

his only other choice was leave them where they were with NO TREATMENT ON OFFER...!!

at least they will get treated now

if you don't want to pay a full vet check up bill you could always take swabs of the eyes and have it tested for fungal infection

i will pm you a method i use effectively for retained eye caps

personally i would ignore mykee's sarcasism mate

cheers shaun
