do not skip.if you get home late suck it up and administer the shot.did you try my hide,hand and jiu jitsu method? it worked for me and my bp.you are a grown human with intelligence far superior to any of your pets.you should be able to trick and over power your snake(unless its a monster). its alot about precision and quickness while being gentle.some people arent very cooridinated with their hands and i would say practice being quick,precise,and gentle with a used needle on things in your house you could throw away to get used to giving the shot.before i would administer my bp i would do some practice runs with a used needle on one of those nerf balls soft on the inside and some paint on the outside or an orange im going to throw away.tattoo artist practice on fake skin so i think it would benefit you to practice on fake skin.
its your duty as that snakes parent to make sure your there to give it its meds everyday around the same time(i used a vacation week and a couple of option days at work to make sure i gave her her shot around the same time as the vet did)..i have a dog that gets insulin twice a day for diabetes for the rest of his existance.ten days is nothing compared to that.it sucks and it sucks even worse for snakes cause they are more sensitive and way more resistant.
what would be acheived if you skipped a day?nothing.the snake would have the same reaction to the shot the next day as well.hes not going to get used to it and make it easier for you.
as i digress, its your responsibility and that snake depends on you.and you alone.
dont try to push it this way or that way.you know what must be done.
