EMERGENCY! :cry:

You would be surprised at how tough snakes really are. I was photographing a friend's snake collection and we had one of his pythons on a palm tree. The spines on the palm got hung up in his skin and actually pierced thru. We cleaned it with some diluted peroxide and placed some neosporin on it. He kept him on clean paper towel, no substrate and within a couple of weeks his snake shed and the injury was gone. These things happen, and unfortunately young people can be careless. I'd be willing to bet he'll be more careful in the future though.
 
AWSOME NEWS!!!!! When I was cleaning his cage this morning, I found stool! It was runny though, but it still brightened my hopes up. :D :D :D :D

And thanks James.

It's not like your brother did it on purpose. He left it opened by accident and unfortunately your cat got at your snake. Accidents happen...
 
Yes but, he held my snale without permission! He's 13 years old almost 14! I woudl think he would have more sence than to leave a snakes viv open.....sorry i'm still upset. :cry:

And what bothers me the most is that he's acting as if nothing ever happened, while i'm working hard looking after my Sunny. Yesturday, he asked me for some money to buy some icecream for he and his friends..... tell me that's wrong!! Because i'm still in shock. :cry:

And thanks James I will do that.

If this makes you feel better. . . WHAT A SNOT!! !:)
I'm on the same page as you when it comes to siblings and pets. At almost fourteen he should have enough sense to put a lid back on!
:uzi: :dunce:
Anyways, I'm very sorry about your snake and I hope he heals well
 
I was thinking you brother was going to be seven or eight how you said he'd acted...
I retract my statement about euthanising the cat, its your brother that needs it
 
My sister is the same age, and i made the SAME mistake on Saturday. I left, and her and her friends decided it was a good idea to go mess with the snake rack. They left 3 bins open JUST enough so that the snakes could get out. I came home and didnt really check on them (and it was 10-11 at night) so i went to bed. Wake up and wudda ya kno?! all 3 were missing, Conveniently 2 were located at the back of the rack near the heat snuggling togehter....still havent found my little boy:( And it figures, it was the only night the dogs and 4 cats slept in my room :cry:

I pray your baby gets better, im glad he's recovering nicely :)
 
Well, it's been a LONG 2 and a half weeks. Sunny well...he...he's is RECOVERED!!!! :D I'm SO HAPPY! He shed, he ate, he went to the bathroom! One of the cuts still has a whole the size of a needle, and once that's done healing i'm putting his stuff back in won't he be happy ;D After he shed I fed him and he was REALLY hungry! ROFL

Jen. I'm sorry to hear that. I'm sure he's hiding somewhere. ^^ And i'm sure you'll find him. If Sunny came through this, i'm sure you baby boy is just fine, he just desided to go solo fromt he others and went to get HIS side of the room. :p Don't worry he will show up. ^^ God luck! I shall pray for him! :D
 
Good news! Snakes are tougher than you think. Glad to hear yours is doing so well.
 
jenC i hope you find him

and excellent news sunny is better, thats why i love my vvi, they have sliding glass doors, and a lock,..... and i have they keys
 
Just curious, WHAT exactly did you do to treat the wound? Peroxide/neosporin? My girlfriend's Roxy just got bit by a mouse - not bad, but she is worried. Clean but through the skin, tiny bit of blood. I just want to reassure her it's not definitely going to kill her.
 
just remember that peroxide will do more damage than good....
it will kill the tissue if used excessively..

i am glad your snake got better...
 
ooh, it's funny my cats don't bother with my snake. Hope he pulls through. Try and ring a reptile vet coz normal vets don't get much training in the field of reptiles! You never know the reptile vet might have a better fix for your snake.
 
Everything looks fine. She went through a molt a few days later and the scar isn't even visible any more.
