I've been dealing with this with my babies, and they dont really seem to mind the injections so much. My vet is doing it and there very small animals but there isnt much trashing or anything involved. Its with Amikacin so there not intramuscular, tho im sure there would be much more rebellion if it were. They seem to dislike mouth rinses much less, and throw there tail at me and thrash about. Now if I tried to do anything with my five footer he didnt want, step back. He's a sweetie and wouldnt bit but just giving him an occasional mite bath, just in case, is a big task. It seems like you have some very good tips to go with and good luck with your snake. How bad was its RI? I ask because you said you were doing injections for a month, when my vet only reccomended that we do 3 injections for my animals. They have been given Amikacin so the treatment might be different.
