Looks like you're stuck between a rock and a hard place mate

, I personally haven't had to make those kind of choices in almost 4 years now and I really don't envy you being caught in this position

**Tsubaki** · 12-26-16, 04:37 AM

Yeah, it's not easy. I'm horrible with rescues that fit my interest, always have issues rehousing them even though they were never meant to stay. (Like that possible sunfire superdwarf, she's probably staying, even though it most likely means not being able to house a SD female that suits my male)

I think the best thing I can do, is keep her unless she can go somewhere I know she'll be cared for properly.. It's not about the money, she already cost me more in vet bills than I can ever get for her.. But I really do not have an adult enclosure for her planned.. I would have to rethink my entire snake room and drop some future plan. Getting the 2 first red-tails in there was easy, Xenas planned enclosure gets cut in half and they each get one half. I just simply don't have the space for another without cramping them.

We stopped taking in rescues because our old house was full of them lol, we had tubs and vivs everywhere

. Now we'll just house one for a few days now and again until it's picked up. We're a bit like you mate we become to attached

**Tsubaki** · 12-26-16, 06:45 AM

Yeah I totally understand that... I usually don't take the rescues home either, they stay at the zoo. However,.. Sometimes they come to me directly or one needs special care. Abaddon came straight to me, she needed more care because of her open wound and her torn belly scales. She looks alright now, all her wounds are closed and fading. She eats good, she behaves normally. If I find her a place to stay that is trustworthy she can move, otherwise I need to make some new plans.. Even if she stays.. She looks pure and scale-count makes sense, i have a certificate from an unknown breeder stating she's F2 Surinamese.. But still.. I Doubt I'll ever breed her.

She's absolutely beautiful boa I'm so glad she pulled through

, but now as you say it's that thing of trying to find her a good home or having to reshuffle everything around to fit her in. It will work itself out mate, it always does

**Tsubaki** · 12-26-16, 08:49 AM

It'll work out, one way or another

'She'll be fine no matter what.

Abaddon moved away today, to a perfect home. A bit unexpectedly soon.. but yeah.. New owner had been looking for a mate for his male for ages, following updates on this girl.. Barely gave me a chance to even say would be willing to part with her, he already decided if I ever sold her he'd take her in.. She wasn't 100% but.. Eats like crazy, scales healed, no other issues than a little underweight left, so Id say a good 99%.. He has enough experience as well, he could handle anything. She is going to be fine, with his enthusiasm it was easier for me to let go too, rather now than later when i get really attached. So in my mind it's now very simple.. I did not have room planned for another long term Suri, and she has a loving home...I still get updates too, best possible outcome, without me having to change/drop future plans.

Anyway , Aizens nose is healing just fine. Swelling was down a good 50% today, like I thought it probably won't be an issue. It's barely noticable anymore, pic from today.

Great ending to the story knowing you nursed her back to health
I just love the colour of aizen .Black and Tan is just great with the iridescence,glad his nose is healing well tsubaki

**Tsubaki** · 01-04-17, 11:56 AM

Thanks Richard, Aizen does look amazing. He even let me look at his nose without exploding with anger (once) so I'm impressed

MartinD · 01-04-17, 01:42 PM

Her colours are amazing, she looks in great condition, I'm sure her new owners will love her.

**Tsubaki** · 01-04-17, 05:27 PM

Lillith was being pretty, and a little annoyed hence the glove. Few "daylight" pics l, and one in her tub. I love this animals looks so much

Showing off her nice pinks.

Soft pink sides, picture a bit washed out but gives the idea

I love her belly, the speckles are beautiful.

Nice tail!

And a sneak peak of Luci ♡

Mmm I put a post here in this thread that didn't get posted... must of closed my laptop too soon at work

You have some wonderful snakes Tsubaki. Good that you found a new home for your 'rescue' and wonderful job on getting him back on her, ehh, feet

My rescue snake (MBK) is in his 2nd shed now, healing up from someone who kept him in an aquarium with his fish (at least it seemed so). He was suffering from massive over hydration and malnutrition. Lets see how he comes out of this shed and I can put some before and after pics up.

All but 2 of my 19 animals (excluding fish here) are rescues... they come from all over the place. We have some challenges to actually part with any of them

bigsnakegirl785 · 01-04-17, 06:38 PM

I'm sorry to see Abaddon leave the forums, but glad she's found a new home! Especially one that will keep in touch with you.

Now Lilith will have to take her place as my favorite of your BC(C). :P

**Tsubaki** · 01-04-17, 06:58 PM

Thanks TRD, I hope your mkb recovers soon! I currently only have 1 rescue left, she's not 100% yet but she also has a very good chance at staying, really charmed me.

Thanks BSG! Pretty sure you mentioned Lillith being your favourite before haha

I'm also glad she found a new home, still tugs on my heart strings a little..
