I`ve done that over the years and also talked a whole lot of snake with very experienced breeders I`ve come to meet, if you`re willing to listen, an experienced herper will be willing to teach you, depending on who it is of course. Another thing I`ve always done is learned from vets. Each time I`ve been I`ve asked all the intelligent questions I can concerning the problem at hand. I`ve been taught various proceedures by vets over the years including tube feeding (long tube right down to the stomach for serious malnutrition cases) and administering injections. Taking a snake to the vet every time it needs intramuscular drugs isn`t a viable option, the snake needs minimum stress, so I learned how to do all my own injections years ago. Now all I need to do is take the afflicted snake to the vet once, get a prescription and then carry out the two month course of injections or other treatments myself, thus not putting the snake through loads of unecessary travel and bother.It`s rare something comes up that I haven`t dealt with before. Short of going to college with a view to doing degrees and going on to work for National Geographic lol your best bet is to listen to those who have more experience than yourself, learn from the vet and be patient. The very best teachers are time and experience....
