My injured snake..

[Hankj]

Hey guys, she is doing great. Very very aggressive eater. Now I guess it's time to ask the question.

Would she survive on her own in the wild and is that the thing to do?

After seeing someone on craigslist selling a ton of baby garters that he got when his daughter caught a wild garter and finding a moral problem with that I started to think about my situation. Does the snake need me now? If she does I am fully prepared to take care of her for the rest of her life and would like to but she should be in the wild if she can. Thoughts?

Honestly, I don't think she'd have a very high chance of surviving. It is your choice in the end. You need to decide what you think would be best for her.

Not very long in my opinion. From what I understand she is all but blind.
She'd be a Happy Meal for some predator.

I would like to thank you for all the time and effort you've devoted to this little snake.
I think she needs you or at least care for the rest of her life.
Nobody better to do that than you.
Just my opinion.

That was what I was thinking, but wasn't sure.
Just wondering, what are the odds of a half blind snake surviving?

[ConcinusMan]

You must mean in the wild? Because I do have a snake that can't see much except for dark and light and he's fine. Amy, my albino radix. He was born that way.

Without sight the threats from above have all the advantage.

[ConcinusMan]

That's probably why Amy completely freaks out and goes all "viper" if you cast a shadow on him. He can see the shadow, but can't see what is causing it.

[kibakiba]

Runt does that too. She cant seem to tell whats going on, ever. She tries eating my fingers or hand every day.

[ConcinusMan]

Yeah, Amy smells food but can't see so he just waves his head around with mouth open until he touches something, then "chomp!"

[kibakiba]

Runt doesn't even have to smell food. She bites and chews on my hands all the time.
