here are the two adult redtails I picked up today, they've been in this little sterilite storage container for the last week, no water, heat or light... and only a few tiny holes drilled for ventilation!



the female's got a little wheeze, so they're being kept warm, and in sterilite underbed stackers... they both got soaks today, and drank a TON of water, and they're getting some rat pups tomorrow, since I have no idea how long it's been since they've eaten, and they're both pretty underweight.

I can pinch almost 1/2" of skin off of the side of the female, and she's got some WICKED scarring on her nose, looks like from a bad burn or a live rat, and the male has some shed sticking onto his jaw, but they're already looking better after a few hours of more comfortable temperatures...
