Re: Please help... I want to understand.

I'm going to go ahead and declare this little guy (Mir, named it) a successful rescue.
Came away from the vets -without- a prescription.

Still going to work on the feeding, but overall: Success!

Re: Please help... I want to understand.

So glad to see how far the little guy came in such a short time. Good luck getting him to eat, sounds like the last milestone!

Re: Please help... I want to understand.

kudos to you, your an amazing person amazing progress. it gets me upset when people dont care to research before or even after buying a reptile (or any animal) before just saying "oh a water snake must only live in water" like do you not care to give proper husbandry to the animal you are taking care of why buy it? an example i went to a reptile expo last month and there was a group there who rescued neglected reptiles, they had a female (females get larger than males) that was left in a 5 gallon pale of water her whole life, her shell was so deformed she can never swim again. it was so sad.

Re: Please help... I want to understand.

That's atrocious! I'm so glad a rescue group took it in. Too often 'release or kill' is the only choices considered.

Oh and little update: Minnows swimming in a bowl with 2inch cuts of salmon has worked, s/he eats. ^__^
