Thank you and I appreciate your "best intentions" I'm going to be getting them seen to. I do understand that my previoius message sounded callous. They will be well taken care of. They are now fully separated, and are being treated both outside and in. Hopefully they will be able to overcome their troubles and acclimatize well. Once they are free of parasites, inside and out, they will then have to be fed and accustomed to the food we have available here. To that end I have a couple of breeding pairs of gerbils so that I can use there offspring as a last resort if necessary, before that I can try their soiled bedding, etc. I am not giving up on them, I'm just doing the best I can.



>>If you knew you were "getting into a boatload of trouble" by getting wildcaught ball pythons, then you need to take the responsibility to take care of them properly. If "hubby" is not willing to then you should. Just because it looks plump does not mean that it is healthy. Please take them to a vet, find one that will give your a quantity discount, or something, but don't just think that all is well, because what is out of sight and out of mind can kill your snakes. I really have the best intentions for you and the snakes, and please don't be offended by my being insistent about getting a vet involved.
