I made the newspaper, pic and all... :eek1:

It mentions my 132 snakes several times... I hope that my neighbors don't get scared. :rofl:

Poor Molly... he got better after that visit, but died within the week. The vet surmises that he had a bad reaction to the antibiotics (which he had just finished at this visit) and that he was dying from kidney infection.
I took him in because he had lost 2 pounds in a week and was barely moving.

That vet... she is wonderful. :bowdown: She was so gentle with him, and talked to him in a baby voice... she didn't charge me for the food or force feeding him. She truly loves animals.

I've got to find a reptile vet around here somewhere.

Sorry to hear of your loss. Seems like you did everything you could of.

Oh no I am so sorry.

I was very heartbroken.... he was my first big snake... and really I was just fostering him, but he had a GREAT personality and I just fell for him.

Thanks for the condolences.

That's great! (Not about losing Molly)
We need more positive exposure on our reptiles.

I think so. I hope that the article helps herpers.

Sorry about Molly.
I couldn't help but notice the "creature" and "coils of scales and teeth" comments though. A little annoying because I know if it had been a dog it would have been different but I'm glad it wasn't any worse than that. If anything it highlights the trust in getting that close to it.
