i picked up a hognose snake from someone selling me a snake rack earlier today. when i got him, the guy told me that he accidentially dropped the water bowl on him, and hed give him to me for free. i decided to take him because i love western hogs and he was gonna freeze him if i didnt. now the problem is that he bends his body very oddly and awkwardly at the point where the bowl hit him, it also seems to be pushed in a little bit. he is having no problems moving though. any ideas as to what i should do? is my best bet letting him go? or should i try to rehab him in some way? ill post pics asap

if he was gonna freeze the snake but gave it to you instead, there's a good chance it's not gonna survive long anyways.

he was gonna freeze it cause he was getting outta the hobby and no longer could make money on it. i brought him to the vet, and was tld if he eats, and passes food, hes got a good chance at living. he has a broken spine, bu no nerve damage.
