A Sad Day

A couple of
 weeks ago, I wrote about a surprise that we found in the pot plant out side.
A green tree snake, at the time we didn't know if he was dead or not as he wasn't moving and it had been quite cold the night before.

The following morning he was gone so probably not dead unless something had picked him up over night.

Saturday I was looking for passion fruit, they fall onto the ground and sometimes into the trailer which is parked under there. There is the corner of the trailer was the little green tree snake again. He was curled up although we did see him move a little. Again the next morning he was gone.

Today we saw him slithering under the caravan but his movement was not good, he appeared to have some marks on his back and he was dragging part of his body. Warren rang the Wildlife people and they sent a couple of guys to pick him up. They said that he was the prettiest one they had seen in a long time. They also said that he was very cold and if he had a broken back then he may not survive but they would take him to their vet at Australia Zoo (Steve Irwin's place) and left it up to them.

The colour in the photo doesn't do him any justice and he had a bright yellow belly.

I don't particularly like snakes but this one was harmless and hurt, I hope they can help him.
