Of course the other option is to find a herp vet if you don't feel comfortable with it.
This is what I would do. I have had to do it twice this year, and had great success with this. However, it is paramount to get a meal in them within 10 days, and continue to assist feed until they eat on their own. I wish you the best of luck Heather. I would hate to see you lose that beautiful baby.
