    Injections

    Hello I am treating a young ball python 113 grams in weight for a mild respiratory infection. The last shot I just gave the snake pushed up into the needle and the entire needle went inside. No blood, the vet said just the tip of the needle, so does anyone know if my snake would be hurt from going in to deep? Needle is 1/2 inch long

    This is a 13 year old "zombie" thread (ahem! best to start new threads, ok?). And no way we can tell you if your snake was hurt because it depends on exactly where the
    needle went...you could have injected the medication into his lung or most anything, so do be careful, maybe get some help restraining him from now on.
