Another rescue snake

[Garter_Gertie]

Wayne, that's what I said. DO the sheets! You must. It won't keep the die hard idiots from getting a Limon, but it will help those those that really care think again and help them should they proceed.

Good luck, big guy. I'm thinking of you and that poor snake.

Wayne,

As always your post is wonderful... I am confident if you get the snake in time, you will be able to bring him back with your warmth and caring spirit. I am so happy that someone found you and reached out to you. They must have felt the same way I do when I read about you and your snakes... There is no better home.

Andrea, That was very nice of you to say. I am flattered

It was one of those rare moments, I posted my recent macro close ups on kingsnake, I only really expected my friend Doug to reply, when A nice gal said that my Limon looked extremely vibrant and healthy, then she dropped the rescue bomb

I told her I was fairly tapped at the moment, (sent Scott way too much money) but I would love to help as best I can. After all night crawlers are free. and wood is not too bad at home depot.

But since Virginia is such a long way away, I have decided to suck up the shipping expense, And if the shelter is going to get the meds and vet care, it's the least I could do.

Thanks again for the kind words..

I'm hoping for the best, Wayne and totally agree with your feeling toward the uncaring people who cause situations like this. It happens far too often.

this is so sad... I really hope the snake pulls through...

At the last hamburg show, some dumb dumb had some of these on his table. All underweight... and he saw me looking at them and hes like oh yea those guys are TOTALLY cool those are false boomslags NO ONE has those and I looked at him with a disgusted look and I said actually I do know someone who has one and he actually takes care of it, and they are not false boomslangs, that is a totally separate species of snake, these are asian green snakes. And I was like do you even know what they eat! And he was like oh i know nothing about them they are from my friend. I really wanted to take them wayne, and to PM you and get some advice because I am very good with snakes with lots of needs and who need work... but I just didn't. I kind of wish I did now.

Congrats. I hope you can help turn things around. You've definitely got me thinking... And I just found one of their leos for adoption who looks like she could use a good home and a belly full of roaches...

HEY!!!! I knew you all were talking about me!!!

OK, just kidding! This is Sonja, proud caretaker of Wayne's new Asian green snake. I just got an email from a kind stranger in Michigan (who could it BE??) inquiring about one of my rescue critters and mentioned being referred by a friend adopting the green snake.....so I had to do some sleuthing to see what is going on and Google found you!

Wayne has gotten all of the details right, as far as I know them, except for 2 things:
I am in Maryland, not Virginia. And, we do not get huge vet discounts!!!! Unfortunately. So far, Roxie's Fund has spent over 10 times what the snake would have been sold for!! But, such is rescue work. We have to balance out the fact that we are a non-profit trying to save animals with the cost to save the more drastic cases. Since Mr. Greeny (don't laugh, the vet needed a name for his file) has a home waiting, we have decided to see if we can save him. We may have had to come to a different decision if an animal has nowhere to go (although, truth be told, most of those animals end up staying with me).

So, everyone keep Mr. Greeny in your thoughts and hope that he gets well enough to ship to Wayne. Speaking of which, we don't normally ship rescue animals, so if there is anyone in MD willing and able to help me ship, please contact me!

I look forward to looking around this forum.....I have a garter snake of my own.
