We had a little rescue mission the week.
I received a call from Thanet Vets close to 7pm on Tuesday evening, I thought it may be another hedgehog but to my surprise theyโd had a call about a lovely little corn snake that was found in someoneโs flat, in a shoe of all things ๐
After quite a stressful ordeal for the young man trying to get this little snake into a suitable box, it was very quickly brought to us here at ESR, we gave a quick health check so to not cause too much extra stress, the snake was in good condition, no redness to the throat, no bubbling and thankfully no cuts or abrasions so we popped it into a viv on a low temp setting. Due to being unsure of how long the snake had been out for it was best to bring the temperature up slowly so not to cause any problems.
Poor little thing felt like a pebble, it was ever so cold!
Much to our surprise we managed to find the owner within less than 24 hours!!
Quite an exciting adventure for our little slithery friend but a happy ending!
Now in a travel tub on the way home ๐ hopefully you will stay there this time, little Houdini
