Re: My introduction to restraint

anything they have has been donated as far as i know. and i see their weird discriptions all the time...when i went there to pick up the two ball pythons i HAVE been able to rescue, not one single person there knew anything about snakes, and the one guy they had to feed them gave them each a live little white mouse....one is over three feet long, the other over four feet.
However, they were both so dehydrated and malnourished that that is all they could handle. Ribs, so nicknamed because that's all he was, was almost dead and so weak he actually couldn't eat that mouse, and it struggled and pulled off one of his scales. I had to start him on rat tails, and move up from there until he got energy.

Anyway...they were all idiots. I've had half a mind just to go down there and offer to take care of the animals they have, even if i can't take them. I just can't figure out how to do it with the hours i work. I think i might try harder though.

I would seriously consider this. The other thing to remember is its entirely possible that they don't have the funds to give the snakes proper food items. I would be especially worried about that big Burm.
