Ok, I am all for giving tough love to irresponsible owners, but what else did we expect the OP to do?

He has meds, he is willing to take the snake to a vet, and he even rescued the huge thing. Should he have left it to die wherever it was because there are no rep vets in the area he knows of?

Can no one here give him help? Sounds like they are willing to take the Burm to a vet if someone can recommend one in his area that will look at the snake.

I would help if I could, but I'm simply lucky enough to have a local vet that will take anything short of angry Cobras. If I didn't have that, I would be in this guy's position.
