Little hisses are just one letter away from little kisses, lol...not a crime. If it wasn't for the fact that a snake has a medical problem, it's almost fun to take a snake
in to be seen by a vet- the whole staff is usually mesmerized by a pretty & docile snake, at least that's been my experience.
I can bet the vet was happy about Yafe...you can BOTH take lots of credit for pulling him thru tough times.
