Default Giving away a sick adult royal.

Ok I really do not want to do this but I think it is best for the snake.

It was a rescue a few months back.

Snake is I think female (90% certain) and age on a guess about 5 years.

I have tried everything humanly possible to get her to feed with no luck. She is losing weight fast now and is starting to get skinny.

Main problem with the snake is that when I got her she had bad burns down about 50% of her under belly. Burns are healing well now.

I will only respond to people who have allot of experience with snakes. Breeders and people with large stock

You will need to come pick her up because I don’t have a car and due to snakes ill health I am not risking reptile taxis. You will also need a tank as I could do with keeping the one she is in.

Also I would like someone to offer me a donation for the snake.

Here is a pic of here.... More on request.

have you tried dipping the mouse's head in boiling water for 10 secs then wipe it and offer.

My newly rescued boa didnt look like it was going to eat. i did this and it ate straight away.

Yeah, pretty sure she has tried everything up to and inc live, if its the same snake. I've been following the plight of this little lady and would have put in an offer myself if she was closer or I could get transport.

Dont wanna sound cheeky but unless you are a rescue this is wrong to ask for...

The snake is SICK so the best you can do for it is to give it free to a well cared home to someone who has experiance with none feeding royals...

I know it may of cost you money but surely you want to do the best by the snake and if that means giving it for free then surely that is the way to go
