lucky they didnt have a spade handy !!!
No geckoboy you keep writing correctly all of the time , you impressed lots of older people with your ability only to let yourself down on full stops . i know my 15 yr old son could not put that many words together in a month

Hehehe, should be enough full-stops in this post to counteract your previous one! (just joking with ya!)

Thanks for all the kind words everyone!

Following the vet exam (including x ray), it appears the visible injuries are mostly superficial (therefore not as much of a concern), however, she does have an apparent crush injury (not suprising, really) including broken ribs, some trauma to the vertebrae and likely internal damage to the lower stomach, pancreas, spleen, gall bladder and lung (though no blood is visible around her nose/ mouth- so fingers crossed on the lung). Good movement in the lower half of her body (good sign). I've decided to keep her warm overnight and try feeding over the next few days to see if she's able to defecate properly, unless anyone has a better idea?

She's already had a big drink and is "shuttling" and generally doing other snakey things ATM which is encouraging.

I'll update for those following.

IV, I have to say, out of SOOOO many posts/threads on here, I actually LOOK for yours! Always enlightening, usually happy endings... So, with this in mind, I wish your girl a full and speedy recovery, and successful laying (if she has any left?), for that happy end result all round!

Kudos to you, once again, for your tireless efforts to help our wildlife! xoxo

Thanks, Sarah, it's short for "Tillbuster Creek" which is her home turf.

 

[dragonlover1]

thats disgusting IV! their parents should be ashamed.

They would be if they knew bet they have no idea what their little darlings get up to

I think he did quite well for a 12yr old, my 17yr old brother couldn't write that well.

I'm not having a go at gecko boy (he's a victim of the system) but it shows how woeful the education system is these days, when I went to school in the 60's if my spelling, grammar and punctuation were that bad I would have been in detention for a month.Here we are in the 21st century with teachers demanding more money for doing less and children are being let down by the education department.It's no wonder the young people can't spell or use proper punctuation.
Sorry rant over.

oh and moussaka i put full stops in school work but it's holidays so i can't be bothered using brain power on full stops so yea

Sorry kiddo but effective communication is a skill that is just as important out of school as in.

@IV I'm really glad to hear she's recovering! Best of luck!

There is no excuse for being lazy geckoboy,good spelling and punctuation are always important to communicate effectively.

What these little so and so's did is sad indictment of what's in store for future generations. They should be ashamed of themselves.

Might be illegal but I think you going to have to hold onto her for more than a few days

 

[Darlyn]

IV what a good guy you are. Would love to send you a nurse uniform but I'm not sure you would wear it : )
If you don't drink beer we may have to take you to one of our secret spots instead.

 

[geckoboy]

Wow sorry guys i'm just joking about how i can't be bothered i didn't realise it would cause such a stir i always put punctuation in my work school or not i was jus teasing sorry guys won't happen a again. just calm down take a deep breathe

sorry-geckoboy

 

[imported_Varanus]

Nurse's uniform and "secret spots" sounds like Territory code for something.....interesting?! Unless your planning to strand me in the bush in a nurse's uniform??

As a member of a local wildlife carers org, I'm legally allowed to rehab our wild herps until such time as they can be released (hopefully)!
