Josh and Moofins,
Just to let you know, this was actually done in 2007. The snake was named Grace, and is a tad over 2 years old now. She now resides with one of the moderators in Ohio (frankychino).

Thanks for the compliments, and it happens to be one of my favorite storys. I actually attempted this surgery again this year on a Hypo girl, but she had a few extra internals outside, and I couldn't get them all back in the cavity. I was able to stitch her up, and was semi hopeful that she would pull through, but she passed away in the middle of the night sometime.

Regards,
