That was a VERY wise decision on your part to cut the pinky in half like we talked about,.....not only does it make it smaller, it also helps expose more soft tissue for the snake's stomach acids to start on immediately so it will have less chance of putrifying, and be digested a little easier. This is of utmost importance in helping the little guy get better.



I'm glad to hear that things seem okay so far!, keep up the good work, and please remember......eeeasy does it.



Again, good luck, and I wish little dude well!
