I’m sorry if I sound like I’m too lazy to go to a vet its not that. Yes its the fact that i hate Australian trains and buses, take too long, always delays and i don’t trust taking this poo bugger through all that noise and vibrations. If there is nothing closer i will go but if i can find something closer why not?. Ok updates, pics are finally here, YAY. HE is doing so much better than when i got him in the morning. I had to peel of a WHOLE LAYER OF SHEDDING SKIN, yes the whole think from bottom of head to tail. Took me just over 1.5 hours. HE is sooooo skinny i didn’t want to hurt him while doing it. There is a bit left however, around his neck. But i cant take it off. One he is too slinky and delicate there and too it is too dry. I don’t think he would want to dunk his head under water for me. After the skin was peeled of he looked really good. I don’t think i would need a vet but I am anyway to check for parasites etc in his poo. Don’t know how i will get a sample though, he hasn’t eaten in like 5 months so there is obviously nothing their. He has not eaten yet, I’ve tried twice. Going to give him another day then try again, and again. If not then off to the vet again to get him either pinkie pumped or force fed. Reason for that is you have no idea hoe lethargic he is, he can barely move, no joke. He has no energy to even slither. I have to push him into his hide hole to make him go in. He just cant do it. Ok here are pics. This is him before i gave him to my friend, nice and healthy, fat and active.  This is him in his soaking bath this after noon.  This is him half way through (note can u see the dull colour of left over skin from previous shedding.)  This is not even half the amount of skin i took off. Rest is too small or on the floor.  This is a more happy VERY sick snake after the skin peeling operation.   Oh and the thing behind half the pics is my frog set up. Very cool will have to show u later. |
