So this Snake Comes in…
He had necrosis all over his body. That image showing his debridment? Yeah that’s his spine showing. It’s not good.
The doctor was thinking his own prey ate him. Which is very tragic. How miserable must this snake have been?
Guys, I’m not a snake owner and don’t know as much as many out there, but try to avoid live prey if possible. Do freshly killed, or thawed. I know that some snakes only eat living, moving prey, and if that’s the case, try to feed your scaly buddy when they’re actually hungry, and monitor them too. This way bites (and huge chunks of missing flesh) can be avoided.
I do not know the fate of the snake. The doctor was able to clean him up, but it didn’t look good.
Starting to fear rodents a little. The box turtle the other day, now this guy?
