out of the hundred or so snake owners in my area im the only person to ever take a snake there. they used to have a vet that was "trained to treat exotic animals" but i dont know if she still works there. when i did take all my snakes there she did know enough to treat the basics but she lacked in expierience (she sexed my ball backwards with a cat catheder despite me telling her how to do it).



i feel realy bad about putting him down but i felt like i had no other options (plus we were overwhelmed) because he was already an adult when i got him 3 years ago as an adult from a BAD owner (cage was filthy and he had a heat rock and a bright heat lamp on 24/7) so i have no idea how old he is. and he never seemed right, he was always a little weak. he could never get a live rodent, he would bite the sides of the cage (his reflection?) and himself. so it seems that chances are if the vet could help it might only be temporary.
