not really sure of why, or how even.....took me weeks to find out what had happened to this snake.
Nice work. I am amazed what they will live through.
We had a boa brought into my work...pet store, about 3 ft, thin to the bone, limp as a rope, several layers of stuck shed on her entire body, tablespoons of aspen stuck in her infected mouth, pneumonia(obviously), areas of her body that had been crushed with broken ribs and back in four places (wide as a boot print) and not even a tongue flick, no sign of life. We thought for days and weeks we would just come in and find her dead but we couldn't give up on her. Cleaned her up and cleared the pneumonia. Rehydrated her with soaks for weeks and then started tube feedings. Several weeks...going on months really and she finally tongue flicked me, and held up her head. I was ecstatic. She started taking mice. Worked to small rats. She became a snake again. When she left she was taking medium rats.
Another snake I have was hatched with about a two- almost three inch area of it's body twisted backwards(baby boa sized baby snake).....over the first few months it moved around and slowly realigned to be 'normal' Ate it's first meal and pooped finally and today you couldn't tell anything was wrong with it.
I have owned two different wild caught milksnakes that have huge scars and jogs in their spines, healed and going on with life.
I truely don't know how they live through stuff. Resilient animals.
