today i aquired a young male hognose in a deal which was originally for the snake and a rack system. i got a call when i was almost to the location at which id pick the things up that the owner of the snake had accidentially dropped a water bowl onto the snake, giving it a literal dent in its body. at first he thought it was dead. i got to the house to get the rack and look at the snake which had started moving again, and there it was, a nice inch long indent where he had been hit. he told me if i didnt take the snake, hed be going in the freezer.. which i cant stand if its your fault. my question to the community here is judging by the included pics, one of the indent, and 2 of him folding himself at the indent, its how hes moving from time to time, what should i do. i figured id ask here what youd do. killing the little guy is LAST resort, if he refuses food and water and becomes emaciated and extremely sickly.
