    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.
    Perhaps taking into consideration the type of snake involved should enter into your well meant but off target advice.

    This is NOTHING like your ball python that your jj mojo worked so well upon.

    For what he's doing and the size of the snake it is at least a tubing job and even better a 2 man job. Injury of a serious nature could otherwise occur to either the snake or the owner. Responsibility means knowing proper procedure and abiding by it, as well as how to count consecutive days.
    I may not be very smart, but what if I am?
