Sick corn!

silver_rose Nov 22, 2006 03:45 PM

my b/f's friend just found an albino corn snake outside of his work. and the poor thing is not in good health at all. There was dirt all around the snakes mouth and something green around its tummy? The poor thing is going to be put in ICU and we're going to try to get it to eat a small pinky mouse; since its about the size of a rubber band.

does anyone know what the green stuff could be??

I've had something like that happen to me.... when i was in middle school(way back in the day) i had a candy corn and he decided to brumate after eatting w/o me knowing... and the pinky in its stomach turned into acid and started to eat its way through the snake. of course there is also another idea... i had a snake die a lil while ago b/c it was turning everything inside a greenish chalky substance. no clue what that was...but it may be related??
