Hey all,

I am normally a boa guy, but today rescued a baby ball from a local pet store. She's it pretty bad shape. I would guess she has never eaten, she seems very dehydrated, she has a couple of mites. She's pretty lethargic, but still has some life in her. Her skin is hanging off her body (very wrinkly on her back half).



I brought her home and gave her a little soak. She seemed to be drinking quite a bit which was encouraging. I went ahead and force-fed a mouse pinky as I felt the situation was that urgent. I gave her a mist with the NIX spray for the mites, and now she's resting in a warm 85 degree and moist shoe box rubbermaid. She seems to be a little more responsive already.



I paid $10 for her as I knew she would die there otherwise. I don't have really high expectations, but I'd love to give her every chance.

What else can I do? What do you think her chances are?

Thanks for any advice!!!!!!!
