Get the correct medication, the correct dose and inject the animal yourself, simple and done in your own "hot room"

There are vets around the UK that will support you if or when you are in need of medical assistance although there are very few.

Your local zoo may be able to point you in the right direction also when you have your vets inspection i would hope the vet is at least able to give you some advise in where to look.

your local council should insist you are registered with a vet (just in case you need to seek help and advise) although 99% of them will expect the snake in question to be tubed

Do take care and dont try to treat your Venomous Sanke on your own as this is prime example of how to receive a bite, if in doubt speak to your local DWA supplier dependent on how confident they are to help you.

thanks

Dave

Surely if you DWA you are educated enough for care for them yourself?

So you think its a good idea to tube a snake on your own, hold the tube and support the snake in a position (ensuring the snake dosnt thrash back) and treat your snake?

I dont

Same here, so does this mean, you never take your snake/other pets to the vets....because you can care for them youself..?

Im with PythonDave on this one
