advice ??

Alright fellas, interesting morning now. So, back in February/March, I had assumed that my bigger fwc had eaten my smaller one. Well, I found some towels that I had taken out of the enclosure (I put wet towels in their cages, when they get ready to shed for higher humidity) and never though nothing of it. Well, I came across them as I was cleaning out the snake room yesterday, and put them in the laundry. I washed them, forgot about them in the washer and re-washed them today. As I was putting them into the dryer, I saw something at them bottom of the washer. It was my smaller fwc, still freakin alive !!. I know its not retic related, but Im using my experience and what I would recommend to clients that would call in a similar situation. I put him on heat in a plastic tub with water (he looks pretty dehydrated and skinny, obviously. IM gonna offer him a meal today, and see what he does with it). Any other thoughts on this. Im just in awwww, that he was still alive and a decent tongue flicker and even somewhat moving around. Messed up obviously, but I mean wow !!

Ill get a few pics up a little later. Im letting him relax and chill in his high humdidity and little heated tub enclosure. Ive never dealt or even heard of this, at least the animals living through two separate washes with laundry detergent both times. I mean, in veterinary medicine, if someone called into my work with this for advice, id think it was a joke. But its just unreal. Im just trying to step back and take the advice I would give if a client called in for something like this. This little guy was meant to live and I think will be a very special animal in my collection

Holy cow!! I'd have to change his name to miracle.

I'd get him hydrated & attempt to feed in the next day or so.

Sounds like you've got a crappy washer.

Glad he's doing okay so far.
