Hi all.
Thought I might share this with you.
Got a call last week about a "huge and very aggressive" snake that was in a guy's garage.
Turns out to be this little corn snake, (yes, a wild caught Corn snake lol) but unfortunately while they were phoning me they tried to pin it using a broom and managed to brake its back.
At first I highly doubted that he would survive at all, but now a week later I'm much more positive.
On day one he couldn't move the lower half of his body and didn't respond at all to me touching him. Gave him a few days break and then tried again and it seemed like he had regained a bit of feeling but not much movement at all. Then tonight when I went to check on him he reacted immediately to touch and moved his tail quite a bit faster and more of the tail seemed to be able to move than before.
I've read quite a bit about snakes with broken backs, but can anyone here tell me from experience if its a good idea to maybe try offering him a pinky or would that put to much strain on him?
