Sometimes humans are just the best! A very good (and brave) Samaritan brought this eastern diamondback rattlesnake into the hospital after it was hit by a car. Look at this beautiful angry serpent!
That head wound looked pretty concerning so this baby went for a CT scan to assess the damage to its skull and soft tissue.
It might seem crazy that this wild snake could survive a tire to the head, but rattlesnakes are incredibly tough critters. Their heads are so muscular that when they’re struck by a car they can often survive with minimal damage to the bony structures of the head. In this case, the trauma from the tire forced those impressive facial muscles through the skin without breaking any cranial bones. Fortunately, an incredibly skilled exotics veterinarian was able to surgically repair the damage. Here it is after surgery!
This baby did great after the procedure and recovered beautifully. After several weeks in a wildlife rehabilitation facility, this rattlesnake was well enough to be released into the wild. You gotta love a happy ending! I know venomous snakes can get a bad rap, but just because they’re a little scary doesn’t mean they don’t deserve our love and respect.
I only got a little half way through corruptober. And although it’s not October anymore, I’m not giving up. Life came at me with family issues, school becoming even more overbearing, and bureaucracy issues within my school. Piling on Halloween, decorating, planning, and preparing for my birthday, I left a lot undone. But hey! I’m 21 now, I got an art tablet I hope to have time to try out soon, and my family all met my boyfriend! I’m hoping that things will smooth out and continue to look up. Here’s to hoping!
It’s been so long since I’ve done art. This felt so good.
It’s finals week, my family may have been exposed via my aunt who teaches at my sister’s school, and the holidays are coming up. I really needed this break from stress.
