I will do everything that I can to ensure the duration of it's life is humane, and I will continue to research and take advice on the subject in an effort to save the snake. I have also asked my friends if any of them know any vets that will give me some sort of deal or discount. If such an opportunity arises, then I will incur the applicable costs.
Cost and worth are two different things.. is your snake's life worth saving to you?? If so then the cost is nominal.
