Another rescue snake

[Garter_Gertie]

Wayne, that's what I said. DO the sheets! You must. It won't keep the die hard idiots from getting a Limon, but it will help those those that really care think again and help them should they proceed.

Good luck, big guy. I'm thinking of you and that poor snake.

Wayne,

As always your post is wonderful... I am confident if you get the snake in time, you will be able to bring him back with your warmth and caring spirit. I am so happy that someone found you and reached out to you. They must have felt the same way I do when I read about you and your snakes... There is no better home.

Andrea, That was very nice of you to say. I am flattered

It was one of those rare moments, I posted my recent macro close ups on kingsnake, I only really expected my friend Doug to reply, when A nice gal said that my Limon looked extremely vibrant and healthy, then she dropped the rescue bomb

I told her I was fairly tapped at the moment, (sent Scott way too much money) but I would love to help as best I can. After all night crawlers are free. and wood is not too bad at home depot.

But since Virginia is such a long way away, I have decided to suck up the shipping expense, And if the shelter is going to get the meds and vet care, it's the least I could do.

Thanks again for the kind words..

I'm hoping for the best, Wayne and totally agree with your feeling toward the uncaring people who cause situations like this. It happens far too often.

this is so sad... I really hope the snake pulls through...

At the last hamburg show, some dumb dumb had some of these on his table. All underweight... and he saw me looking at them and hes like oh yea those guys are TOTALLY cool those are false boomslags NO ONE has those and I looked at him with a disgusted look and I said actually I do know someone who has one and he actually takes care of it, and they are not false boomslangs, that is a totally separate species of snake, these are asian green snakes. And I was like do you even know what they eat! And he was like oh i know nothing about them they are from my friend. I really wanted to take them wayne, and to PM you and get some advice because I am very good with snakes with lots of needs and who need work... but I just didn't. I kind of wish I did now.

Shannon, what an idiot.... When you come across stuff like that you should let us know. I bet someone on this forum would help rescue them. I would wire money to you for all the costs to purchase & ship them to my loving, spoiled home. Since I have gotten my snakes (less than two months) I have spent like $600.00 or more and countless hours loving and stressing about all of our new family members (not "pets" they are way more than that) they are priceless...

the only problem with that is that hamburg how is a one day event so once they are gone, they are gone

they may be back at the show in august but i highly doubt theyll make it till then.

these snakes also require specialized care, including a heavily planted arboreal environment... he wanted 12 dollars a piece for them, I really should have taken them but at the same it just sucks to give creeps like that money.

Shanon I agree with Andrea, I would have chipped in too.

I honestly don't mind the care, heck I have been out all day catching tiny little toads that just lost tail so my baby red sides can eat.

Oh, Back to work, the whole fam is out by the creek.

(And I snuck in the house for a minute)

P.s. I hope Andrea was calling the show vendor an idiot, and not you

Just talked to the gal with the snake, the vet got most of the retained eye caps removed, and tube fed him.

She has taken personal responsibility of handling this, I am so impressed, they so much don't want to put this beautiful animal down, because of negligence.

And I am flattered to no end that she insists that I be the one to take him.

Am I allowed to say the name of the rescue??

I can't see a problem with that.
