    My FLEAMILY never get too attached to anyone!
    Phtttt!!
    Daisy!

    I needed a laugh!

    How sad,  that snake is a harmless python,  i hope someone gets treatment for it.

    Daisy!

    The snake was at the animal hospital, it was being cared for.

    Instead of showing this terrible picture, why is not someone removing these ticks from that poor creature? This makes me sick.

    Daisy!

    It is a terrible picture. someone needs to pour baby oil on him, the ticks would suffocate. You hold him and I'll run to the store for the oil!
    I'm sorry, I couldn't help myself!
    Empathy is a wonderful thing, never lose it.

    Thats better. I sure felt bad for that snake.

    I hope it is dead because that is not fair to that snake.

    Daisy!

    Ticks will not drink from the dead, the blood pulls to the side the dead lay on. No circulation, no blood to drink. As long as the tick are attached the snake is alive. I'm sure they got them off, but for how long? That area has an infestation.

    They cleaned up the snake buddy...pretty gnarly though...heebie jeebies!

    I posted the after treatment photo bud! See my answer!! ;)

    Very obviously, those are tics. Poor thing. 

    This is the talking snake of the Book of Genesis getting his just rewards for causing the sin of the world.
