Vet bills from breeding

[Bogertophis]

Another question...

When they make an incision, do they do it between the scales?, cut the scales? remove the scales?

And how about when they stitch up the exterior part of her?

This is just interesting stuff to me, hope I'm not bugging you.

I think it depends greatly on the vet & their skills & preferences. I haven't needed any snake surgeries for some years now...I'm sure they've made progress too, just like in other medical areas. I've heard of them trying to go between the scales but that seems like it would be pretty challenging.
