Re: Emergency!!!
I thought OP said it was a herp vet? Maybe I misread something? OP?
Mdt, sutures are generally left in reptiles for longer than 10 days (as I mammals) because thwy do not heal as quickly. I don't know for sure, you may be right that its too late for stitches, but the vet could have debrided the edges of the wound before suturing, or it could still be able to close if it truly is a slower process? I'll be interested to see what thw vet says when OP picks up the snake....
