Stuck Python

[Fleas]

The people who found this python in a block fence tried to pull it out. It would not bulge. When I arrived the poor snake could not move. A good shot of cooking oil on the snake gave enough lubrication to ease it out of the block.

Not a python but a Boa. Good job getting it out. Hope it does well.

[Fleas]

Thanks dthomas.. Will keep a close eye on it for two weeks

A couple of years ago, New Years Day, 2002, I went to retrieve a young Savannah Monitor from a block wall. It was stuck so hard and holding on tightly that I could not get it out - at least until the owner brought out a 4-lb sledge and said, "Break the wall!" Another good use for cooking oil. IS there a commercial endorsement there?

[Wlydcard]

YAY:)

Nice looking one as well,i am taking in one of these Boa's as well today,cause the guy just does not want it anymore:confused:

I hope your "new" one does well :hi

[HERPSKEEPER]

Were you going to keep it or find a home for?Also glad to hear its ok.:D

[Eevelsmf]

I think I was called out on this, but I couldnt make it (bedridden with flu:( ) However, sounds like a perfect rescue to me. Knowledge, skill and brains. Well done.

[Fleas]

Jerry, Wlydcard,Herpskeeper and Eevelsmf.. I thought of the hammer, but was going to save that idea if nothing else worked. I would have bought the guy a new block and installed it...Not a problem if it came to that. I will feed it and keep for two weeks. If not claimed by the owner it may show up at the meeting as a raffle with the proceeds to the AHA (Andys idea). Hope you are feeling better now Eevelsmf

[Eevelsmf]

No...flu sucks!!:loco :loco :loco
Thanks for asking though
:)

[Arandani]

Yes, I agree with everyone here, good work! :D I hope that beautiful snake dose well, getting stuck in a wall must be quite an experience. I wonder who it once belonged to?

[crocodilehunter]

I think that is a great idea to bring him to the next meeting if you decide not to keep him. I would probably do some type of donation to the AHA because you would get more than if you put him in the raffle. Great job! much respect for your contribution to the organization.

[HERPSKEEPER]

How much are the raffle tickets?

[KKC]

Raffle tickets are .50 cents each.

[Fleas]

So far no one has claimed this boa..Someone may leave the next meeting with this beatiful snake.:bright

[Snakeboy]

that'd be nice...but unfortunately, I just found out that the Christmas meeting is tonight, and I can't go. Sorry again all, I was really looking forward to it...

Wished you could have made it Snakeboy.. Lots of food, great entertainment and a good time. Lucky Mike took home the boa.

[Snakeboy]

Well, I'm happy for him.... kinda.... no I'm just kidding. As I hear it, the Christmas meeting was extremely fun. Count me in on next year' Christmas meeting! It's only a whole year away!
