Cory Woods isn't giving you information on what to try, but on his experience on what to do. As he stated for you slow people, he has already done this more than once and the female not only survived but was able to breed for years after without any effects of this procedure. I can understand if someone doesn't feel that they can do this. But I wouldn't let a vet do anything else that wasn't in this statement that Cory provided us with.

I breed ball pythons and this is my hobby with my own collection of them. I for one am very thankful that a breeder with the knowledge of Cory Woods, took the time to go into detail on what to do, most reptile vets don't even have this knowledge.

Cory Woods, THANK YOU!

Don
