first off We are so SORRY for your loss. We do know how it feels to have one of your babies die in your hands. For the necropsy the vet buy our house does it for free if your around south east michigan. They charge a deposit to make sure you will pick up your friend after but that was only like 40 bucks which we got back when we picked her up. My only suggestion is to pick up another snake and hold it.

-Wipes away her tears.- I'm so sorry for your loss. I don't know how much a necropsy costs, though.

im sorry and i know how you feel a lost a baby boa last week due to feeding issues = [
the best thing i did that helped was holding my other snakes = ]

wiping away tears. I'm so sorry for your loss. :(

Hey hold tight I know how it is I just lost a fire male about the same size as sniper. He had an abnormal heart the Necropsy was $55 dollars.

So sorry to hear about your lose. I can't imagine what it must be like to have a pet expire in your hands like that.

He sure was beautiful - Nice tribute video.

that tribute video makes me sad!!!!!!!

My vet, in our area, costs about $100+ for a necropsy...

ok, i got the necropsy done for $45. i watched and learned. turns out his kidneys failed due to the infection. it went into his blood steam. nothing was contagious and he did not have an ibd towards the end. we are burying him later today. i have an interesting video on it too. ill post it as soon as its done. i got a really good lesson on their anatomy, i got to do some of the procedure too. it was pretty cool, ust very sad. thanks Dr. Jenkins! I really appreciate all of your hard work.
