I got a call out to this guy 2 days ago after someone jammed him in their screen door and left him there until I freed him. I now have him in my care until I am happy he hasn't sustained permanent injury. I did arrange for a vet to come and look at him to make sure his kinked back was not serious but she didn't show up. Poor guy but today I got him out and he is much calmer and the kink is less noticeable. So I dabbed betadine on the site where there is only a small laceration but I think he's almost right to go back to the bushland.
He isn't the easiest patient I've had as far as handling but found while I have his tail he hides in a dark bag and doesn't stress as much. The first day he was a full on stress-maniac - super fast whippy even had a lunge at me but tonight I had him on a hook and he even climbed back up over my arm, un worried. But he's going back home on the weekend, I don't think he needs my help for much more than that  Lovely little thing. I'll get more pics of him but for now I only have these 2. Poor little guy was very frightened when I took these

His movement is fine. I tapped his tail, he felt it, and moves it freely.

My vet did not turn up again today  but promised she'll be here Saturday. I am happy to say that the kink in his back is almost straightened back out. But I still want the vet's opinion before I let him go. I have to persist with her because she is the better of the vets in town and comes to me. He has quietened a lot. Rather than my big scarey hands going in at him I am using a hook to get him which he seems much more calmer and even happy to venture up my arm. I am not handling him un-necessarily but glad he isn't panicking like he was on Day 1.

Good news
4 weeks later my Green Tree Snake has fully recovered and released back where he came from I tried to get some photos of his release but once I let go of him he was gone & never to be seen again
