My new rescue carpet

Ian of Oldham · 07-17-16, 11:04 AM

Hi well the rescue center was at a local small show today, it was to rise much needed money, halfway through the day a man come up and asked will we take his carpet, so we did. It is fully grown and we soon noticed Gungi on it bobby, anyway I have took it and we put some cream on to it. so I now have a fungal infected snake to look after. I will make appointment for the vets tomorrow.
Pcs to follow in about half hour.

nice rescue. from the pix he looks like a big boy. good luck with him!

Ian of Oldham · 07-17-16, 01:23 PM

Thanks he is a big boy but I think he is under fed, I do not have any thing bigger than a small rat and he is hungry so I have give him two and he took them.

Well I had to do some digging about Joe, then found out that he was from the pet shop that I get the food from, He told me it was sold to a door man and he got ill and give it to the man that we got in off, anyway he also told me that the man ues to feed it if he had money and it was not alway substantial or regula. So I have now got him at the vets tomorrow night 5-40 and hope that it is not to bad, I do not think it is that bad but hey I am not a vet just some one helping a sick snake.

So now he is fad and watered I have had him out and he is very feisty as if he as been lock up and not let out, This is a photo when he was handed over to us and one of him being feed. this is not his permanent home but just until quarantine is over

He looks to be of proper weight if not very slightly underweight. Shame about the scars, but I am sure you'll get him up to speed. Congrats!
