Sad news.
I am the only person in the world that I know of who gives CPR to a snake.
I tool all four stillborns and gave them CPR and mouth to snout.
Nothing happened.
I left them alone for half an hour.
Checked on them. Not a single movement. No breathing. No heart thumping.
Well I was curious to see what went wrong internally that made these guys not survive.
So I opened one up. And its Freakin heart was beating. (please I am beating myself enough...)
My point is.....please please please. Leave your stillborns alone for at least 24 hours.
For some of you who just throw them in the freezer.....you could be freezing a live animal.
This is a hard lesson I will NEVER EVER EVER forget.
I wish there was someway I could pay for this murder. But I don't think even that will make me feel any better.

Hey Ritchie..that sucks man. I think everyone here knows (and you do too) that you would never do anything to hurt your boas. Things like that happen. You learned from it and will be stronger b/c of it. Chances are the poor thing would not have survived anyway. [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_frown.gif[/img]
Keep us informed on the rest.
