Ugh, I remember the two snakes I saw in vet school on primary care. One of them had this, the other had necroti, mummified, dead snake babies. Since they both needed surgery, another student had to pick up one of them, so he took the subspectacular abscess and was in/out and done fast. I got stuck with the most awful, disgusting, insanely long 3 hour surgery of removing dead baby mummified, infected snake baby from the snake, uterus had ruptured. The smell had apparently permeated through the surgery suite to the point that the surgeons (on the complete other side of the surgery suite. Surgery suite was set up with non-sterile endoscope procedure rooms on one side, in the middle a large open room for set-up, induction, etc and then another hall with surgery rooms for sterile procedures. We were on non-sterile side and they were using the sterile side) talked about cancelling some of their more elective procedures because they couldn't handle the smell any longer.
Will never again, never, ever, ever, ever again, see another snake. Nope, no thank you, I had my experience, I am done.
