If a snake is left untreated for illness/injuries it will be that much harder to fix it later, so the sooner you figure out if you can handle what ever problem it has the better, because if you can't you can find someone sooner who will be able to.
This guy speaks the truth. The wife and I have money put away for every one of our pets just in case something should happen.
