I forgot, two week wait at the herp friendly vet (who may very well disapprove as they are a government funded facility, no idea, I'm new to this, I was hoping you guys knew what would happen), so that seems kind of iffy, at least anytime soon. There are no local animal rescues I have found that want her, not that she really needs rescue anymore it seems, (though I'd like her to have a once over before release). What's the weather need to be for her to survive on release? I'm going to miss her, though she seems to like me less every day, bit me today for the first time. Fed her a snack yesterday too! I hope thats a good sign.

Something still seems off though, she almost seemed like she had a hard time eating today, took her three long trys to get a significant amount of food down, the pieces were positioned badly everytime, so I kept cutting smaller than she was used to until she got it. She seemed to have the shivers at one point, almost in excitement and frustration, I set the food dish down, 2nd or 3rd time, and blew on it so smell would go toward her, she raced around the cage shivering looking for it... it was odd.

I used to work wild animal rehab down south. No idea why, it's built into me, I just hate seeing anything not make it with someone watching.

So shes not on the native to NY list, right?
