Finally i’ll do a Jasper update!
Soo this little guy for quite a while found a home at the zoo, however in all industries accidents happen and being the little Houdini that he is Jasper escaped. He was missing for around two months before one of the volunteers found him.
It was very touch and go for a bit, he unfortunately has sustained some pretty serious injuries which ended up with him being on multiple forms of pain relief and antibiotic injections every two days for a very long time. It also resorted in him having to have 80% of his tail and both of his hemipenes amputated. I honestly didn’t think he would pull through. After nearly 7 painful months of hunger striking, endless vet treatment and two separate surgeries he was finally cleared to come home. When I got him home he still hadn’t eaten more than one chick leg since June last year and I was so worried about him.
Thankfully after 5 days of being back here he took a multi for me and has been smashing food just like he used to every week since. I am so grateful that he pulled through and i look forward to many more years with my wonderful little tailless dude. I wont post injury photos here as they are pretty gruesome however if anyone is interested feel free to message me about tit!
Species: spotted python
