BUT, I would like to hear some tricks for opening your snakes mouth. I know my vet had to show us so we could get some pills down her and hubby actually ended up doing it cause I ended up in the hospital. SO, hearing some tricks would be a good thing.

* if you have got a small snake, take a folded buisness card ot if it's a large snake a folded paper plate and put it in the snakes mouth. Paper products are good because they are soft can be easily disposed of afterward so they don't need to be disinfected and the fold keeps the snake from getting paper cuts.
* a ballpoint pen can be used to poke open the front of a snakes mouth. Once the snake opens wide put the pen in it's mouth crosswise to hold it open.
* a rubber spatula works. If you need to give your snake medication you can pop it right behind the spatula.
