Reptiles are extreemly hardy. Thats the denefit of simpler bodies, cold blood and limited mental capability. Especially the cold blood helps, a this way they can reduce their metabolism to a degree that would kill a warm blooded creature. All these do come with downsides though. Obvious ones.

For real... I ended taking in a very neglected bearded dragon who not only had a massive cyst in-between her eye and nose, but she was egg bound to such an extent her reproductive tract ruptured and she had free floating eggs in her body cavity. The vet and I were gobsmacked and wondered how this poor girl didn't die of sepsis. Thankfully after surgery, she recovered and she lived another 3 full years of beardie goodness. We had no idea how old she was, but we suspected she was an older beardie, much like this boa in the video.

A former neighbor of mine had a habit of renting out rooms in his place to essentially have his tenants take care of the place so he didn't have to do anything and could just sit around and be lazy while also getting paid at the same time. His first tenant was actually a really cool guy, we talked a lot. I noticed when stepping out of my house one day that there was a horrible rotting smell coming from their house and went over to make sure everything was okay. It was so bad that if no one answered the door, I would have called the police to do a wellness check to make sure no one had died inside the house. The cool tenant answered the door though and told me that the owner had a pet snake that he had apparently starved to death and the smell was the snake. It was a small snake too (he showed me a video he sent to the owner) so it was hard to imagine it smelling that badly. Taking care of the owner's pets in his room was the one thing his tenants didn't do. I think he had 3 more snakes that died after that, before he eventually moved away. I could always tell when another one had died because of the smell. The cool tenant did try taking care of them after the first one died, but he didn't really know how to take care of snakes. We tried to get his pets taken away from him after it became obvious he was neglecting them, but nothing was ever done about it as far as I'm aware. After watching so many Snake Discovery videos, it's astonishing to think that he actually neglected them to the point of death, seeing how much they can bounce back from. To this day, I have never smelled anything that smells as bad as a dead snake.

​​​@@spectralumbra1568thankfully, I've not smelled that smell yet... my oldest snake is about 6 years old. BUT one of my boas, purchased from a shady Mom n Pop pet shop, regurgitated a 2-week old meal (if their records were accurate) in our car on the way home! OMFG it was awful. Our conclusion to this is, his in-store temps, humidity and uvb were SERIOUSLY lacking, and thank GOD he regurged that meal! It wasn't digested and we're still amazed he kept it down so long, and didn't d1e because of it! But... Maxwell, possibly an IMG, is now doing VERY well, over a year later. We took it VERY slow, gave him a proper setup (and plenty of water) and waited 2 weeks to feed him. Now he CRUSHES his meals, keeps them down, sheds well, and is the sweetest snake! He's never regurged since. Sucks that we gave THAT business our money, but we're glad we did. God only knows what might've happened! That store is now under new management, thankfully... but before, we used to seriously contemplate rescuing some of their animals (even thought about buying a frilly to have it euthanized). The boa looked perfect though, so that adventure was a complete surprise. No regrets though, he's beautiful 💕

@@Sarcasmic That's crazy that she lived. I remember seeing a fish that was suspected to have dropsy, you could tell she had ballooned up and squeezing her would release fluid out of her.

Stuck eye caps are no joke. I have a glossy snake in my care who's missing her left eye because somebody got too overzealous about "helping" her shed. She also had a good deal of stuck shed around her head and neck, and a stuck cap on her right eye, but after I took over her care and changed up her living situation for the better, she's all cleared up and doing great now. She's really a sweetheart, too!

I mean...that's a super charitable take. They did the bare minimum they could so an angry former tenant wouldn't flip out and sue, very likely tossed a live mouse in there with him (you can't tell me a person that put a reptile under a non-heated lamp bought frozen mice and it explains the scarring perfectly) and only called a rescue when they thought he was dead and weren't willing to touch a snake to check. Like...this is not what a society that cares about animals does, this was literally less effort than throwing him in the trash.

I actually have a very old hognose who is blind from cataracts. Her vet said it just happens to extremely old snakes sometimes. Because she’s entirely blind, she’s very nervous so I don’t change her enclosure at all anymore and do much less enrichment and mostly do cleanings that involve picking and scooping instead of redoing the enclosure entirely. But she’s still eating and likes to explore as long as things are exactly the same.

I have a boa who looks just like him. This is heart-wrenching in every sense of the word. I didn't know a snake's belly could deflate like that and it makes me want to cry. I hope he does super well in a future filled with love and appreciation.

I also rescued a boa that was quite older looking. Was a gift for a young teen, never properly educated, never moved out of his wooden 3 foot enclosure 75w basking bulb IN the enclosure with burns all down his back. Easily 6 1/2, 7ft. After a new enclosure and good husbandry, he looks amazing! And he is still a sweetheart. Must be a boa thing.

What a poor sweet baby. I just cannot believe the neglect and suffering he endured and was still such a sweet baby. I mean I get cranky when I’m tired and hungry, he did better than I would have! I hope to see further updates on Christian and hope that he still lives for a long time. 🥰

Thanks for looking after this sweet boy. He clearly knew you were there to help and appreciated your love and care. Very sweet and friendly disposition, which is amazing when you think about what he went through. I applaud what you do with your rescue program. Reptiles need specialist care, and they clearly get it with you two and your fab team. Good luck to Brooke and Christian for whatever time he has left. Amazing to me how well a reptile can cope with a collapsed lung

But whatever the case, he's healthy and has a perfect new home thanks to you all. And just wanna say while it's sad and upsetting an animal got to this condition, I'm happy the ppl tried to take care of him, and called you.

Thank you for taking this poor thing in. If I was the landlord I would have called the local zoo to help me. They have this HUGE constrictor there years ago that was like 15' plus. It took multiple people to move it. They asked the visitors if they would like to help them. I think 15 people helped. Many were kids. Boy was it strong! Like a thick rope of solid muscle. Very beautiful and healthy. They take such good care of all the animals there. First time I held a snake since my brother picked up a bright green snake in Wisconsin. I was some kind of grass snake. He shouldn't have touched it, but he didn't listen. He took it in the house and freaked out our mom (she was afraid of snakes). I was an early teen at the time. Mom yelled at us to take the snake put it were we found it. It was a pretty chill snake though. We also saw a green tree frog. I didn't get much of a chance to look at it before it jumped away. Dad would have liked to see the snake, but he would have told us to leave it be. We had some kind of small burrowing owls, barn owls, and barn swallows around too. Dad liked the barn owls because of rodents on the property. There were lots of other critters and birds too.

Looks like a perfect ending to me. Christian gets to live out his days being well looked after. My dog was found abandoned tied up to a farmers fence. Severely underweight, terrible ear goo and infection and covered in urine burns. She had to wait three months in the kennels before she could even look to be adopted, as it's a legal requirement to give the owner time to get them back. She was still underweight when we got her, and still had skin issues. She's since gained 7 kilos and lives a life of luxury. Admittedly the cat has tried to end her on several occasions, but thankfully Murder Kitty hasn't been up to the task. I'll never understand why people won't just find a place to surrender their animals if they can't look after them anymore. I know it's harder to find somewhere for reptiles, but they are out there!

you said at end thats you wish this could have been a satisfying rescue videos where animal looks amazing after some care. I for one see an amazing Snekko. Poor guy has been through alot probably close to death's door. You gave it a decent home, food, love and attention and you can tell that Snekko is living a new much more fulfilled live. He looks Lively and Happy, and sniffling the air with his tongue in the end, compared to looking pretty much like a battery operated toy with low low battery life left at start

Christian might not be "perfect", but I think he's _beautiful._ He seems like a cuddly, loving noodle. He's been through so much. He knows you're the folks that helped him, 'cuz he kept nosing & leaning into you. They're a lot smarter than we think. Even if they don't feel "gratitude" in the way we view it, they know where food comes from & can associate safety with certain smells & people. He knows you mean "safe", "food" & "warm".💚🐍Amazed poor baby survived, he was so thin.
