    Re: ribbon at the rescue

    James, I don't think it's a northern ribbon snake. If it was found in the wild of her area, it was definately released by somebody who didn't want to care for it.

    I'm leaning towards proximus, although I'm no expert on ribbons.

    Re: ribbon at the rescue

    I'm pretty sure that this one's not from the wild
    I'll have to ask Sean again
    and there's definitely a spinal injury, but it's old and apparently not bothering the snake
    there's some nasty scarring around the same area
    the snake also has some small spots of scale rot and assorted other bumps and lesions
    I'm thinking, I might offer to foster it for a week or two, seeing as Sean just seems to have gotten a flood of animals, and I've got a spare 10G which is better quarters by far than what that girl is getting at the rescue
    if it looks like a western, it probably is one
    can they be gotten to take rodents?

    Re: ribbon at the rescue

    Lori
    I'm fostering the ribbon from the rescue
    it looks just like the one in the photo from this thread
    http://www.thamnophis.com/forum/gene...07-08-duw.html except it's got an old spinal injury
    here - look (I still can't get the colours to come out quite right)



    I'd be just happy as pie to tell Sean I got it adopted out
    I bet he'd give you a break on the adoption fee
    of course I'd get her all healthy and fed first - she's a lovely snake

    Re: ribbon at the rescue

    Its really pretty. I've been calling it Blueberry.
    At the pet shop, it kept on getting squished by this big Ball Python.

    Re: ribbon at the rescue

    Rhea, I would really, really consider adopting Blueberry but at the same time I feel like I am not deserving of a new snake until I find Squiggles. :-(

    Re: ribbon at the rescue

    oh Lori
    I know what you mean
    not to give you false hope or anything, but I cannot imagine Squiggles not turning up again
    even if she doesn't, you still deserve another snake, particularly since you're just having a very painful lesson that's turning you into a more careful snake owner
    most of us have lost snakes, and I've committed much graver sins

    in any case, Blueberry seems happy in her new environs, generally not hiding, but observing her surroundings curously, unfazed by cats hanging out on or around her tank
