What has happened to Saturn? I saw your video where she was doing better and shedding and could see again, but what has happened since? If she passed its ok. You did all you could I'm sure. I dont think anyone with common sense would blame you if she did. I subscribed because I saw your rescue video and I'm not even a snake or reptile person, but I have compassion for any living creature that is suffering. Please post an update even if its not good news. Thanks for the great videos.

With how mistreated she is I imagine she's too tired to put up much of a fight. Some reptile owners praise pets by how docile they are but in reality they're just incredibly malnourished due to lack of care.

I got a dog from my step-dad's co-worker once. poor girl had been kept in a freezing garage. We were experienced with dealing with behavourial issues, and were told this girl was agressive. When we got her 1) was she heck agressive and 2) turned out she had a medical condition that was exasberated by being kept in the cold and 3) of course she was a "Christmas" present for their severly austic son and of course, none of them knew how to look after her properly. 4) She was a cocker spaniel which is not generally a calm breed. (High-energy working breed, they are georgous, but they need a tonne of excercise and mental stimulation) They obviously hadn't done their research. 5) I don't have much respect for a pair of parents who can't be arsed to tell their son it isn't ok to pull at the dogs ears. I saw him do it right in front of me and the parents did nothing. Austic people are not incapable of learning, as someone with the condition that genuinely made me quite angry. When she growled at the boy, they yanked at her collar, and cockers have a smallish neck, so they could have really hurt her. 6) Cocker spaniels don't shed, so they need their fur clipped, her fur was matted and gross, and she stank. They said "oh, we like her with long fur". Dude, look after your dog!

@LostYourTime 5 лет назад

I'm incredibly emotional the last couple days for some unknown reason and I was already crying throughout the whole video, and then finally stopped and saw your comment and started crying again. It makes me sick to my stomach that animals can be treated like that. Much everybody's disbelief in my life I don't want kids I just want animals. And I want rescues. My girlfriend's family breeds Maltese puppies and she only ever wants dogs that come from breeders and I lost some respect for her because of that. I know that no matter what people are going to breed in at least she loves and cares for her dogs but there's so many animals out there that need homes and is suffering like this poor snake. My mom only allowed us to get dogs from a breeder and I love my dog and I feel like it's okay to get animals from breeder but to be completely opposed to rescuing is stupid LOL Sorry for the rant but thank you very much for rescuing!

@leannepaxton5012 5 лет назад

Genociiide , well said. I feel the same way as you. I just want a huge menagerie of rescued animals. Of any kind. Just whichever animal needs a home. At the moment I only have 2 rescue cats, but I want more, once my living circumstances allows it. Space, both inside and out, for whatever animals might come along, who might need a loving, safe home. I understand that some people will go to breeders if they have a preference for a specific type of cat, dog etc. But like you, I just know that there are so many animals out there already, who need good homes. I couldn’t bring myself to get anything other than a rescue animal as a pet, it just wouldn’t feel right. I’m not sure if you are male or female, but I am sorry that you have been feeling emotional lately. Maybe your hormones are out of whack, or if you have a lot on your plate and have lots of stresses that are affecting your emotions. Lack of sleep really plays havoc on my emotions. But I have found that animal therapy is the best thing when I’m feeling low or emotional. So, maybe spend some extra time with your animals, if you are still feeling this way. Hope you feel better soon. 😀

@smexipenguin 5 лет назад

Terry Wilson there’s a pet shop near me that’s selling meerkats, caiman, genets, Asian water monitors, anacondas, monkeys and other pets needing wildly different care and habitat to standard pets and they sell them to anyone, it absolutely horrified and terrifies me. The amount of people that can adequately care for and provide an ideal environment with plenty of enrichment for unusual and demanding species is ridiculously small. The amount of people who buy something just because they want it without research or proper preparation just makes me lose faith in humans.

@Hannah-ds2bl 5 лет назад

Damn, it makes me so angry. I once went to a pet store and the way they kept their reptile (especially snakes) is utterly outrageous. They were cramped and clearly stressed, it smelled awful and the air inside was terribly dry. The snakes are kept inside small FUCKING TUPPERWARE BOXES WITHOUT HEAT OR LIGHT ON A SHELF. I saw up to 7 turtles kept inside tanks smaller than my JUVENILE corn snake's. There were severely overweight lizards and an open tree that went up to the ceiling where they kept one chameleon, which, considering that the setup was open to the rest of the store, it could have easily escaped and gotten lost/stuck/injured. There were very overweight lizards as well as arachnids kept in cups that were way too tiny. There was even a goddamn tortoise (yeah, the ones that live for up to 150 years) and at one point had a CROCODILE. I'm not even joking. Animals aren't for human entertainment, and I don't get why some people can't see that. Smfh. If I was able to take legal action against that pet store I would.

@averylfong4843 5 лет назад

I actually cried watching this. I don’t keep snakes or any reptiles for that matter, and have no real experience with them, but seeing the amount of neglect that left her in that state made my heart hurt. This is why we need to stop looking at animals as trophies or objects to own and do the bare minimum/don’t do any research to understand their needs. I’ve learned that we need to stop trusting what breeders/pet shops say entirely, and that not every product out there that’s labelled ‘for pets’ is really the best for them. That keeping an animal with you means that you have to be responsible - and yes, it’s a constant learning process - but you need to keep trying and evolving your methods and do what you can within your means. They’re relying on you for a good quality of life. I recently rescued a 5 week old kitten from a storm drain behind my house, with no prior experience of owning a cat. But I knew that he was filthy and needed a bath, that he needed to be socialised with humans as he was feral, that he needed his ears checked out with the amount of dark discharge coming from them, that I really should not be feeding him dry kibble that was mainly grain/preservatives when cats are obligate carnivores. You need instincts. You need research. And you need to care. That’s all. Seeing that snake in such bad condition, plus that severe spider wobble makes me upset to think that their previous owner did not even meet those basic requirements.

@dragonlilly1993 5 лет назад

OMG this is so well said! Thank you for saving that kitten and giving her/him the care/veterinary check he/she needed!

@chasingthefish9042 5 лет назад

@@alexsquid8560 i argee snakes have personality. However that's not anything to do with emotions. They are still 100% percent instinct. They arent robots every single snake has a different way of surviving. In the wild that personality is what helps them survive. It gives them the edge over snakes. Snakes that survive breed thus helping the animal species survive in a whole. Now in a rack system where everything is exactly the same their personality is what differentiates them in the eyes of the owner. Humans like to think that personality and differences are linked to emotions which isnt always the case. Everything and anything they feel is attached to survival.

I really hope the person that had this snake never even owns a fly. I have never owned a snake, they just are not my cup of tea. In fact I do not like them. But NO snake deserves this kind of treatment. My uncle has a ball python names sugar. Even I could handle the care of his snake when he was out of town, which was alot. It was pretty simple. Changed her water daily. Fed once a week. We did feed live mice and rats, but we watched her. If she didn't take the rat with in a half hour we removed it. Or if they bit her we removed the rat. We never ever let them chew on her like that. I bet she killed the rats to have them stop. Seems like it was either her or them type of deal. Seriously that poor girl and this comes from a non-snake lover. Fish are more my type of pet or my dog,lol. You are a awesome man for saving these snakes as you do. Alot ppl get them thinking it's cool, and not knowing and understanding the pet they are taking in.

I've also seen a couple cases where the wobble gets worse when the snake's head is off the ground so if they're crawling around on a flat surface they're fine, but if they stick their heads off the edge of a surface or are off the supporting edge of an arm the wobble gets very pronounced.

Ur call, there are options if it starts feeling like the wrong thing to do, we all need to draw the line somewhere. Like what do you do when if doesn't accept the busted up rat? (rhetorical question don't worry) Good luck bro.

Difficult to watch, but important for us as a community to see so that we can acknowledge that such abuse should not be tolerated (even though it’s not a cute puppy). Great work!

@gvenchy2476 5 лет назад

I foster + rescue cats and kittens. It makes me lose faith in humanity because of the things I’ve seen and how people can be so cruel. I’ll never understand how someone can mistreat/neglect animals especially their “pets”. Thank you for picking her up!

@bbvvghh455 5 лет назад

I actually couldn't thank you more for rescuing cats when i see dumped out cats a lot in my neighborhood since nobody cares or takes care of their cat You shouldn't pick up reptiles or birds though, keep from that but buying them from stores is ok (By not picking up reptiles or birds i meant from outside 👀)

You popped up into my recommended section tonight and i am so glad curiosity got the better of me. I've read the comments comparing you to Bob Ross, etc, etc... and they're right. I mean, duh, afro.. but your voice is very soothing and relaxing and your care for this beautiful creature was just... awe inspiring. Going to go check out the update on Saturn now... but i think, my new friend, you have found another subscriber.

everyone makes mistakes, everyone's human, but this isn't what i call a mistake! some mistakes even kill pets (getting ph levels wrong, for example), but this is MULTIPLE mistakes, with very very basic solutions and even speculated care... that's so sad! thank you for caring for this baby

@thebluewolf2472 5 лет назад

They weren't mistakes... the person just didn't care at all 😓... glad Daniel has her now.

Honestly pains me to see any animal like this but for some reason the majority of this stuff happens to reptiles stupid people impulse buying because they think it is cool to own a snake it pains me to see stuff like this but at least we have people like you to amend these horrific situations thanks afro for being an absolute legend!

@haleyg8387 5 лет назад

Cameron Bell People who impulse buy and do ZERO research to properly care for their animals make me absolutely sick. There is no such thing as a cheap and/or easy pet. Unless you want a pet rock.

@brookepartlow5608 5 лет назад

Crying because I just helped with a case of a Blood Python with an infection that just died! She was 20yrs old and presented with swelling on the lower third of her body. The vet and I sedated her and drained almost a liter of fluid off of her. We were lucky the bacteria was sensitive to the antibiotic that was sent home, but she needed much more aggressive treatment. RIP Sydney.

Poor thing. I also have a rescue, a boa. He has permanent damage from a long term respiratory infection. Also has been chewed on by rats. Was dehydrated and super skinny. He’s better now, but not perfect. His vet care has cost about $800. He’s worth it, very sweet snake despite what he’s been through. I’ve had him for over a year now. Good luck with his recovery.
