you can say that again

all my javelins are chipped and its massive for the size of snake to be honest, plus with them having such keeled scales it makes it very hard to get it in them

I need to get my Dumerils done... Just a bit aprehensive after seeing the bloody size of it! I thought it was tiny!

Even the vet who done mine was apprehensive as already mentioned it is tricky and they need to find exactly the right spot. The vet I used had never done a snake and had contacted one of the universities to speak to a reptile expert to find where to place it. Certainly not something to do at home unless you are adequately trained.
