[Bright202]

Well anyone here who has had to give a ball python, or any kind of snake should no its not fun, although I havent given one to spartan yet, but he's gonna need some, seein he has a slight case of RI. With that being said, doesn anyone have any advide for me, as well with some pictures to show me.
Thanks!

It's going to be a little more difficult on a baby snake. You have to inject between the scales. For Spartan, you'll probably have to hold him (gently, but firmly) and spread his scales to see the skin beneath. Definitely have your vet give you a demonstration on the first injection.

Others may have more advice. I've only ever given shots to a big butt boa... who barely noticed I was there.
