... Well, for what it's worth, here are my thoughts: I know there have been some studies, but not many, on translocation of snakes. The Tucson Herp Society has...
hello, I'm new to the group & am looking for some help. Earlier today one of the stray cats in our neighborhood brought an Eastern Garter snake to our front...
I honestly don't know what to do, other than take it to a vet, or call one for advice. Snakes are very tough, and with care can survive things that will kill a...
I called several vets in the area. I was told everything from "take it to the SPCA" (which I wouldn't do since our local SPCA kills more animals than they try...
I believe Steph & Jan have cat-bite experience, maybe they can shed some specific light here. In the meantime, indeed keep snake and cage very clean, and I...
My mother will undoubtedly post to this when she gets online next. She has a rescued garter that was attacked, and seriously injured by a cat. I would...

Sounds like you've got it well in-hand for now, and no stranger to herp care :D. And yeah, you don't really want him/her soaking in water, but drinking water...
... Yeah, I'm the crazy lady at the end of the street who rescues snakes from rednecks with shovels! I have been living here since 93 & all the neighbors know...

... Cindy, You have been given some excellent advice from Lani and Marie but I will add my 2 cents. I have a cat caught gartersnake and the poor thing is a ...
This one doesn't feel like he has any broken bones (no kinks or dented places). but I don't know for sure. I have refrained from handling him as much as ...
I am not familiar with garters, but I have a young black snake that was bitten badly by a cat. In this case, the wounds were both puncture wounds and spinal...
... then ... well. ... I looked in on him this morning. If you didn't know he had been bitten you wouldn't think there is a thing wrong with him. I'll keep ...
I have to say I'm impressed with all the responses to your cat-bitten snake, and there's some real good advice there. For what it's worth, I'll add my ...

Hey Roy, I agree with you that there have been some impressive responses. I am particularly interested in any input on baytril as being a bad idea. Here's...
I think the lady in the article did exaggerate the salmonella issue, in my opinion. She sounded like someone who lobbys for the HSUS to ban all exotics :) ...
First let me say that I am glad I found this group! I did post the problem to a homeopathic group & got several good responces. Along with one person who feels...
