I can fully comprehend your difficulties with getting the snake to the vet.
I don't know about where you live, but around here, a 20 mile taxi ride is about $50.00. A preliminary vet exam is $60.00, and treatment can be a couple hundred more.
At 14 years of age, I would have had to ask my parents to absorb that cost, and the answer would have been a big, fat, "NO WAY!"
Not to mention that, as a parent, I'd be extremely uncomfortable with my young teen travelling 20 miles on a bus alone. Not nowadays. Too many bad things happen out there for that.
So, yes, I understand. You are not unwilling to take your snake to the vet, you are simply unable. And I've got 20-something years on you, and when my little Dekay's was sick a few months ago, I was also unable to take him to the vet, due to finances and transportation issues. (I don't drive either.)
Only difference is, back then, I don't recall any replies coming my way with an accusing overtone to them, such as a few I've read in this thread. I was offered only advice and condolences. This change in tone bothers me, to say the least........
Best wishes.
kind of harsh...i was paniking....oh and my snake moved its tail and ate a fish..is this good news....
