Fortunately, the OP has been successful at getting the snake to feed. No doubt we can all agree this is good news.
Sorry, I missed the end of the post. Unfortunately, the snake did not survive.

I don't see an "I'm a dumbass" icon to add to my post, but if there was one I would add it. Moderators, can we add one? I'm sure it will be widely used.

nonetheless; kudos to Memo, the OP, for making the effort.
