Today my little brother was out side playing and he seen some guy kicking something then pick somthing up and threw it in the water. My little brother ran over to what he was doing and he seen a snake floating in the water not moving. The man ran away and my brother jumped into the water a pulled the snake out. Its an albino corn snake. He got home quickly set up a rub and put the corn snake in it and left it alone. He checked it about an hour later to see if its still alive and it is. What is the next thing i should do? I have took photos and will add them here for you to see. I think the corn snake back is broken and also their look like burns under the belly. Please help thanks

Hey that would be great - yeah you ought to have first option, definitely - just tell them you'll take her - they'll be glad to save money advertising her or screening the new home and it will free up an enclosure for another rescued snake.
Hope to hear of your new addition soon. |

Ah sorry to hear of the injuries but that's great news that he will recover and hope he finds a good home now. (And hope they DO that **** who hurt him ...)
Congrats and well done to you and your brother! I think you deserve TRP's heroes of the year award if there is one! |

The scottish spca just phoned me the now saying that they took the corn to the vet straight away, he got x-rayed and they showed up that their was a couple of fractures on his back but nothing life threatening. Also because their was no broken ribs that there would be internal problems :D. So he has another appointment at the vets next week and hopefully he gets the all clear and gets put up for adoption. Really good news :D |

That's so good that they are helping and that you can get an update. Congrats to you and your brother for coming to the rescue and I hope that the outcome is good.
And that they catch the *censored* who hurt the snake ...
I look forward to some better news. I can't get that little snake's face out of my mind. |

Thats the snake away now, the guy said that they would x ray it so see what the damage is and hopefully it's not to bad. The rspca said that they are going to put an appeal out for information on this horrible crime. I have to phone on Wednesday to see if hes okay, Ill keep you all informed. Thanks so much for all the help guys i really appreciate it |

I'd say that is the best option. As sad and awful as it is, its not your animal and it would be unfair to expect you to foot the bill putting it right. Your brother deserves a TRP Rescuer of the month award though jumping into the water for it. |

Just phone the rspca and they are going to come out and collect the snake, I think this is probably the best option for me and the snake as i dont get paid till next week and i think the corn needs help now |

My god that's vile! Yes, police, could try RSPCA too but I'm not a big fan. However, the rspca does have a help line and it is possible that they may, if you're lucky, get an inspector out to see the snake and even arrange for emergency veterinary care. Don't want to raise your hopes too much, but worth trying.
sorry amendment - wrong link although phone no is same

Good luck and keep us posted, fingers crossed for that poor snake. |
