I know exactly how you feel! I'm one of the most overprotective python parents in the world, but that's what makes this a great thread. If you have another issue down the road, you're going to have this reminder of "stop messing with it or it's not going to heal!" With any luck, some kid will get a python for Christmas, read this thread, and not need to learn that the hard way!
