Some Rescues

First up is a lovely little Cobra we nicknamed Cobber
You may notice a very misshaped hood on this one
It had an argument with a terrier and the terrier removed a substantial chunk of flesh
I sewed it up and this was the result 6 weeks later
It was shedding and feeding well so was released deep into a National Park here

This is what is called an Elaphe Radiata or Radiated rat snake [ular tikus]
Non venomous and this one is showing how they all act when asked to go into into bag for relocation
The colour of this is pretty unusual as they are normally a vibrant green in Bali

Also released in the same park

This is a small reticulated python that had major skin loss on top of the head Ive put a couple of pics so you can see the healing power most reptiles have It was treated with a combination of honey and savlon and was given powerade baths to help hydrate Although it made a complete recovery it became very docile and too used to people so was given to a home where it will be well looked after                                                                  

The next photo clearly shows a mouth infection on the same python

which is fairly common in wild retics from this area

Breakfast time and nearly healed



We can only do our best and too often our best isnt good enough
Reptiles that have been hit by cars often slither away seemingly unhurt
But a huge number of those will die later from head or internal injuries

This is a stunning example of a normal coloured burmese being relocated. 

 

 

 

The pattern was exquisite

Next one was very pleasing

This was a burmese pretty badly burnt in a fire

Lots of weeping areas and blistering

After about 4 months and very little handling it was released as feisty as ever

So there are few of things we try to do











Most probably caused by humans of course, 2 different retics with nearly identical facial injuries
