Peter, don't wait and hold that snake's body. Get it to Guelph as soon as possible and in the best shape you can. If it is going to the University, you'll get a proper idea of what went on. Their reputation is one of the best in Canada so I'd be very confident in their findings. Again, well worth the money to my mind so you know truly what you are facing.

For now, there really isn't much you can do. I've no idea how long it will be until you get those results so the best and only thing you really can do is monitor the collection closely, keep strict QT and just go about your business (with reasonable restrictions of course). Please let us know what Guelph says.
