The olive definitely has a ciggy burn on its head!
The baby olive with the broken ribs ate 4 pinkie mice today! Huge improvement from last time- first time he had none then the second time he had 1. And the olive with the cigarette burn ate 3 weanling rats today Carpet still hasnt eaten but its expected he will recover but just have a huge scar on his stomach. I'll keep yous all updated with anymore news i find out
Just a question, is the 96 attached to your name your year of birth and if so does this mean you have been keeping snakes since you were 1 :shock:
I am not sure you would want to be offering any large food items to that carpet for a long time. Stretching at the sites of those scabs could stress them to tear or bleed. In most circumstances I wouldn't be feeding them at all, but giving the neglect he's been subject to he probably needs to the nourishment to help him heal. So just keep it in mind, smaller prey that he can swallow and not stretch, and more of them would be far easier for him that large prey, until those scabs are totally gone and the skin is repaired.
Where does it say it had to be euthedThat is a sad sad day when the beautiful olive like that has to be euthanised poor guy
Seems like neglect to me.... If she has children or other small animals check to see if they are rocking back and forth in the corner of a room...That would be a good indicator.
Did you say she has another snake in her collection?
Perhaps if she isn't willing to hand it over the vet that has said it wasnt accidental can put a police report or something in that will cause it to be removed before she or her family injures it as well...or worse
Yeah shes got a little bredli. I made her release the wild one ages ago so thats all good.
I would almost guarantee she is a troll, especially as she has a pic of an olive in her Show us ya collection thread that has what looks to be the beginnings of the exact same injury as this olive has. Have a look at the olives head in pic 2.
