Snakes

Oh :) i asume they are are the big (well not huge) green ones which look really pretty. Wow my descriptions are amazing xD I'll google it xD.

Yeah, I hate that but this mouse was still alive, but it was like screaming, horrible. Dx

GTPs aren't really that big, IMO. Thin-bodied snakes with lengths that are probably around 6-7 max, males being smaller.
Another thing I'm considering is an emerald tree boa.. all boils down to what I can afford.

Ahh..I see which ones they are now :) not the one I was thinking of. I really need to learn more snakes xD

Emerald Tree Boas are ok for me, but I just loooooove the colors that the Green Tree Pythons can come in.

Example of my absolute dream snake ever ever ever, just holy crap I'd kill for a snake that looked like this e.e

Heeeey, I’ve never posted here before, but I’ve got a question – can snakes heal on their own from puncture wounds, or is there anything you can do? My cats found a pretty young northern red-bellied snake in the drive way and were having a blast tossing it around, my mom took it away from them and put it in a container until I got home. I put him [I’m just going to call it a him, though I’m not sure of the gender] in my spare aquarium after putting some bedding in there and I taped the lid down covering up every crack so that he couldn’t get out since he’s quite small. I just took him out after letting him calm down a little since he was freaking out when I tried to hold him and check him out before. He let me hold him after he’d been in the cage for a while and I got to look him over and noticed that he had blood around his head and it looks like the cats had bit him in quite a few places, mainly around his head, and it looks like they even nicked his eye. >< It’s been a day since we found him and he doesn’t seem to be slowed or anything by the wounds, he’s still pretty active, but I’m worried about them healing… and healing soon enough so that we can set him free again since I don’t know anything about the species and I hear that they don’t make good pets, I’m also not exactly sure if he’d be just fine in the wild if I set him free now. I don’t know how old he is, though he’s really small, I’ll have to upload a picture soon.
And on the topic of pet snakes, I’ve had my corn snake Juliet for a while and plan on hopefully being able to convince my parents to let me get a boa constrictor soon. Though they really do hate snakes, especially bigger ones, and convincing them to let me get rats and a corn snake was hard enough, so I might just have to wait on the boa until I move out. xD

Snakes are tough and can heal really well. Depends on how much bacteria got in there from the cat saliva though.

Could you get me a picture of the little guy? It doesn't sound too bad, you could just apply some hydrogen peroxide to clean it and then some triple antibiotic (without painkillers) to keep it that way, then set it off on its way.

Exactly what Grimace said, BUT!

Northern redbellies are notorious for doing badly in captivity. He may not survive without professional help, even if he can heal, if you keep him too long.

I'd like to add that snakes don't heal wounds like humans would. While the wounds should scab over, you won't see any real improvement until the snake sheds.
My BP got a bad burn and you could see improvement in each shed, however the scabs would get shed off and leave the affected area raw..
