Ok I will ask my vet to have a look sometime. Is it a difficuylt thing to do? I guess i could prob damage the snake as i am inexperienced.

Tried the whole flowers, dinner, chocs ting but it was more interested in hiding in the flowers, letting me eat all the chocs to fatten me up then eating me dinner so took it to see snakes on a plane instead to get its mind off me...

Awww. Yeah I wouldn't even attempt it yourself. It's only difficult if you've never done it I suppose but you could easily get it wrong, and to be honest if I was him that's the last place I'd want someone messing about with and getting it wrong.

why shouldnt most shops charge?

theres a skill to it and it needs specialised equipment ..


if you took it to the shop you bought it at then maybe you will get it free but shops arent just there for your benifit . they have a living to make


im sure you wouldnt appreciate someone coming into your work and asking you to do free work and use your own tools
