Oh lord...you'd had to have been here to appreciate this fiasco.

Neither of us had any idea snake skin was that tough and impenetrable.

I'm sure both snakes hate our guts, now.

Fior the first time since I've had him, Ozzy actually sat quietly on my lap and just stared me right in the face.

He looked like "WHY?!? Why have you done this me?!?"

[we didn't 'hit it on the first try'...or second...or third]

The vet gave us insulin needles.

They are SO flimsy I was terrified they'd break off inside of him.

I don't think we got far enough into the muscle on either snake because they both "leaked" a bit afterwards.

I know it had to hurt them and I can't bear that.

I hate myself right now.



I sure wish there was a nurse living nearby.
