that is a great thing you did for her. There need to be more breeders like you and adam in the business.

Good job on the operation. You make my idea of once in the future becomign a breeder more understandable by the HUGE example you set forth here. You are by far one of the most dedicated souls out there I know to our little friends

Thanks for the update!! I really hope that stitch holds.... will be keeping all of you in my prayers!! I am glad though that everything seems to be going well so far. How long will you have to keep those stitches in? (Maybe I missed the answer to this somewhere.)

Hope everything works out for her. You did a great job. Not alot of people would have did that. Not sure i could have. As for ralphs baby that had the heart on the outside of its body. Heres the link to the page. Then click on Heart (sad) that should be the video clip.

Kudos to Adam for being the man.

Liquid band-aid and super glue: my mom just underwent pretty major surgery for cancer...anyway, the point of the story for here is that they sewed her up with staples and superglue. =)

You didn't need a pharmacy; you needed Officemax.

I'm pullin' for little spider-woman!

Amazing story and pics - I hope she does do well.
One little thing that may be worth bearing in mind if you are literally suturing the heart back into the body is not to let things get too tight. If the sutures are too restrictive or it heals with tight scar tissue then the heart may get restricted and tamponade. If she takes a sudden turn for the worse then consider cutting your sutures o relieve the pressure. Here's hoping that won't be a problem. Good luck to you both!

Wow what a story. You really have a great heart. My thoughts and prayers are with you and that little snake.
