Update on Callisto

Callisto is home and back in his enclosure. Dr. Neville commented over and over what a “nice snake” Callisto is and when it was time to show me how to do the antibiotics shots, he even said that Callisto was “…such a nice snake. Boas are typically nice, but he is like the Golden Retriever of boas!”


His procedure ended up costing $403.30 and thus far I have received $190 in donations. Thanks so very, very much!

I’ll leave the paypal link up on his page here until I have met the total amount of his procedure fees, so if you see it, that means I can still use some funds to help cover the cost.

This is a photo of his abscess:

I did not get one from yesterday prior to his procedure, but the abscess was about the same size as it was a week ago. His face looks far more symmetrical today and I’m sure his pain is a lot less without all the infection pushing in the side of his face and jaw.

Can we go home now please?

I swear the whole time we waited for checkout he really just wanted a cuddle, as much as a snake can cuddle.
