Again... in this particular case I'm certain I did not cause this injury... as I said above she was located along the edge of the rock that was going up not at the edge still in contact with the ground.

I did once injure a snake while out in the field, caused a small puncture wound at the caudal area... felt so bad that I went back to the same location for the next two weekends just to check how it was doing... all turned out well for the snake and I learned to exercise a little more caution while searching in that type of habitat.

Enough said on it. I'm still debating the decision to keep it. Even though I'm certain she won't survive on her own there is no guarantee she will fair any better with me. Trying to alter the natural course of events has never sat well with me... sh!t happens every day out in the wild.
