I get that completely. I was just really looking for some thoughts on what you would do if faced with a similar situation. I don't have much experience with snakes. I actually have no idea if my snake is suffering and if so how much. I feel like I am in a weird place where I have too little info to make a good choice.
I probably should have included husbandry in the original post. I am using an Ultratherm UTH hooked up to an Hydrofarm thermostat. Temps are measured with both a probe thermometer and a PE2. Hot side temp is 90f, cool side temp is about 80f. The enclosure is a Sterilite 14L tub. Humidity is generally about 60%. Substrate is just newspaper. The tub is in a room that doesn't get much light and there is little commotion.What type of heat source are you using and and type of enclosure would help us understand there environment.
I have two identical sets of tubs that have the same hides and water bowls. When we give him an injection I change his enclosure out with a completely cleaned and disinfected tub/water bowl/hides/and newspaper.
I'm certainly willing to keep fighting. It's not an issue of giving up for me, its an issue of making sure my animal doesn't suffer more or longer than it needs to.If you are willing to keep fighting then keep fighting i wouldn't give up till my snake died but that is just me.
