My snake has a problem with his tail, HELP

[drache]

it sounds like your snake will be okay
I am sort of confused, as to who is treating herps at Pet Haven anyway, now that Jill is on maternity leave
from Sean's no-comment, I'm leaning toward the bird doc
I've got a couple of snakes who need care and when I mentioned it to Sean he recommended our old vet who abandoned us for the land where all is legal
I managed to talk Jeff into renting a car on a saturday for a three-hour drive into pennsylvania to bring my snakes to the fantastic vet - just need to find some touristy stuff to do to justify the rental car and the length if the trip
I'm really hoping that we can make it this saturday, but we don't have a car yet and I haven't reached the vet

Ok, so sorry guys it's been a while and as I promised that I was going to see a Vet today I DID! I searched all around for an affordable vet. Comes out that one of the great fellow clients at the office today told me he recommends his good friend which is a retired Reptile Vet. He has a mini suite in his apartment building, however he no longer treats animals. He does it here and there but the poor old man no longer is stable for it. So I brought Spookie in (My Snake) and he checked it out. He said the snake is perfectly fine and that while the tail was scabbing off the inner skin separating the scab from the actual live skin was healing. It is now a closed wound ever since the dead piece of tail fell off. It looks real nice and it is shaped as a mini mini tail. He said he Might have the chance of growing a small similar tail as many reptiles do, however it's a 50/50 chance. The snake is completely healthy and the little bruise on his stomach sector is nothing but a scrape and by the time passes on the color will return to its normal state. Today is feeding day and I fed him an entire Pinkie like I do every Friday. He ate it in an instant no struggle! Hes actually longer and getting a bit bigger. Only a tiny bit. He also shed his old skin 2 days ago. I had to help him a bit because of his short tail. But everything is completely off and hes good to go. Over all I'm extremely happy to know that he is perfectly fine and also!!!! that the very nice senior checked out Spookie for me ALL FOR FREE! He said no charge, he said hes not going to charge me just for a check-up. I thank him and I thank everyone on this forum who helped me along the way! I thank you oh so much! Spookie is doing great I would take pictures, but I don't have my camera so, plus in order to take pics of him with my ****** camera I would have to pick him up and I don't want to bug him, hes STUFFED! HEHEHE... See you guys later ! And thank you again.

The tail will heal and form a "stub tail" snakes do not regrow lost tail.

Good job

Great that it worked out, but like Wayne said, they don't regrow tails.

It is incompatible with this model. We're waiting for version 1.2 to come out. :P

They might want to cough up a service pack.
