Bad news people, "She" is blind.(possible might be able to sense light and dark). Has 2 kinks in her neck. Doc doesnt believe it should stop her from eating but she wouldnt make it long in the wild. She does have nerve damage, she twitches when making certain movements. He gave her a 50/50 chance(If I can get her to eat.)

Hope she has no issues eating but don't freak if she refuses for a while being wild and injured probably with swelling in that area may delay a few feedings

Indeed! I hate to eat or drink with a sore throat and only do it because I know it's best to do so. The snake doesn't know that. Anyway, with a metabolic rate of only 1/5 that of us endotherms, she can go longer without food.

Thanks for the update, and keep us posted.
