Hey everyone!
Havent posted in a super long time! I am looking for any general advice with this snake Im keeping for a bit. Ive never owned anything except corns but being the resident snake person at work I kind of got volunteered to take care of this guy while he heals. Luckily I have an extra tank, lid and heat mat.
I work for a vet and a friend of hers found this snake in a birdhouse on her property. Shes a lovely lady and her husband was going to relocate it on their property and they realized something was very wrong. My boss agreed to take it, we did x rays and surgery and pulled a golf ball out of this guy.
Hes 2 days post op now and hanging in there. The exotic vet we consulted with instructed to feed after 4 to 5 days something half the size of his body.
I have no experience getting wild snakes to eat FT.
Any well wishes and advice is appreciated.
