First of all, I would like to tell Pittoon that he made a great effort in trying to save that snake. I am glad that someone was able to remember my website with the story about Grace there. As Harlin has stated, you win some, you lose some. I actually had a Hypo female hatch the same way last year. The hernia in her was larger, and proved to be a bit more difficult to close. I got her closed up, and looking good, but she was not able to survive the night. So, while I saved one, I lost one as well. But, at least I know that I try whenever possible, and Pittoon did the same. So, my hat's off to you.

In regards to trying to bring it to a vet, that was the first thing I tried, as it written in my story, and the vet declined to do anything for the animal. They also would not SELL me a suture kit, to attempt it myself. So I did the next best thing I could think of, and it payed off.
