Solana was spayed yesterday. She will stay at the vet on pain meds until Thursday and then will come home without them.
It went very well. The vet said she was already making eggs and that made the surgery easier. Small snake can mean it's hard to find things, but producing means enlarged components (for lack of a better word).
He is a little concerned about the stitches since she is scaleless and from both a will they hold and will they shed out standpoint. He is only a little worried about them holding but might have to remove some 6 weeks out.
I have to be careful with humidity in the tank for a bit to prevent infection, and of course keep things clean, but the prognosis is excellent.
She gained some weight recently as I fed her more frequently the past two months (weekly versus every 2 weeks). That's good because she can't eat for 4 weeks or so and then maybe hoppers versus her normal adult mice.
I'll keep everyone posted.
