Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Serious injuries...
My neighbor braught me an Eastern Coach whip that he found on the side of the road and it has some serious lacerations and minor punctures... It looks like it was attacked by a dog. One of it's wounds has some very small maggets... The cuts are located midway from the spine to its belly scales... The most severe is about 3 inches long and 3/4" wide at it's widest point... I am not familiar with the tissue that holds the skin to the muscle tissue on snakes, but the belly scales and skin are not connected to the muscle tissue below the largest cut... The muscles underneath the cuts don't look to have any damage...
We do not have anywhere I can take him to get free care and be released back into the wild in this area and I cannot afford to take him to a vet... I will do anything needed to help him get better such as medication from pet stores or cleaning and doctoring the wounds which I have already done...
Any suggestions?

oh yea... he only has 2 major cuts like the one described above and the rest are punctures that look like they should heal nicely... Is it possible to stitch these types of wounds at this stage? How well do wounds that are gaping hole with flaps of skin heal?

I was able to get some help about this thread already so no need to post... I am going to call all of the vets in town tomarrow and the humain society and see if any of them will treat him for free and release him... If not, I may see if my sister who used to be a vet tech will help me with him...
