Update: its been confirmed.....there is no hope for ekans. he's going to sleep ethier on sunday or monday.......i'd like to thank you all for your support. you dont knwo how much it means to me. ive nearly broken down in tears several times......but ive stayed strong and i know im gonna get through this. i am indeed going to get a Bearded Dragon. mother has made a 'matt's dragon fund' box. any spare/loose change that we have is going in it. in total it will be about £120. thats including new lighting, bedding ect. my god father is going to make a new lid for the tank so this mistake doesnt happen again.

once again. thankyou for all of your support. it really helped

the story:


a few nights ago i was going to feed my snake ekans. as i opened the lid (which is really flimsy) a tube of wood glue fell on him......its been confirmed that his back has indeed broken. nothing can be done as the break is near his stomach/digestive tracks. a specilized snake vet took ekans back today to see the damage. i went back this afternoon and the shop owner had said his friend (snake vet) has taken him. he doesnt charge for consultations which is good.......but the way things are going, he might have to go to sleep........he's paralyzed from the break down. he cant move his tail. so i really do hate to say this......i think he's better off sleeping. i dont want him to be in pain. i just want whats best for him and me (finacaly. I AM NOT STINGY! IM LIVING ON BENIFITS AND DO NOT HAVE MONEY TO FIX HIM UP ;__; )

also a really big thankyou for everyone who supported me through this. i really owe you for it. much love to you all.

so there will be one last snake life picture of ekans saying goodbye then that will be it......when he's gone im going to bury him at the top of my garden where he will be remebered for years to come.

goodnight my pet. may you rest in peace......
